Heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women in the United States. It is caused by plaque buildup in the arteries and may lead to symptoms such as angina (chest pain), abnormal heartbeats, or heart attack. Over time, heart disease can also weaken the heart muscle and contribute to heart failure and arrhythmias. There are a number of things you can do to help prevent the condition, including knowing your risk factors, monitoring your health, and making certain lifestyle changes.
