Coronary Heart Disease

According to National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of NIH, some 7 million Americans suffer from coronary heart disease (CHD), the most common form of heart disease. Each year, nearly 1 million Americans die of heart disease. Coronary heart disease is caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries that feed the heart.

Many deaths caused by coronary heart disease could be prevented because coronary heart disease is related to certain aspects of lifestyle. Risk factors for coronary heart disease include high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity--all of which can be controlled. Controlling risk factors remains the key to preventing illness and death from coronary heart disease.
