Story Behind the Curve
Why Is This Important?
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and stroke is the fifth leading cause.1,2 Healthy People 2030 focuses on preventing and treating heart disease and stroke and improving overall cardiovascular health.
Heart disease and stroke can result in poor quality of life, disability, and death. Though both diseases are common, they can often be prevented by controlling risk factors like high blood pressure and high cholesterol through treatment.
In addition, making sure people who experience a cardiovascular emergency — like stroke, heart attack, or cardiac arrest — get timely recommended treatment can reduce their risk for long-term disability and death. Teaching people to recognize symptoms is key to helping more people get the treatment they need.
