| Heart disease continues to be the number one cause of death in America. Cardiovascular disease claims a life every 33 seconds in the United States. In total, more than one million people die each year from cardiovascular disease, the majority of them women. Prevention and early detection is key in ensuring that a cardiac event does not claim you are a loved one as its victim. This half-hour program explores the latest advances in the prevention of heart disease including the importance of knowing your own risk factors, and ways to reduce the likelihood of a cardiac event. The panel also examines strategies and medical innovations that make living longer with heart disease possible. Clinical trails and breakthrough diagnostic technologies are discussed.
