Why You Need a Heart Health Monitor Cardiovascular diseases rank as America's No. 1 killer, claiming the lives of nearly 38 percent of more than 2.4 million Americans who die each year. 70.1 million Americans have some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This includes diseases of the heart, stoke, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, congenital cardiovascular defects, hardening of the arteries and other diseases of the circulatory system. *
You need to monitor your heart regularly even if you don't have any chest pain (angina). Ischemia (insufficient blood supply and oxygen delivery) and other heart diseases may be present in many situations in which chest pain is absent (e.g. silent ischemia) . Furthermore, a significant proportion of heart attacks (myocardial infarction) are also silent or asymptomatic. Many recent studies have shown that the majority of ischemic episodes in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease are actually not associated with angina. Start to monitor your family's hearts from youth. Deaths from diseases of the heart increased dynamically over the last century. The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in Americans covers all age groups and sexes.
Finally, the awareness of heart monitoring in public is not enough. Among the deaths from diseases of the heart and congenital malformations that occurred during 1999, 16.5 percent occurred in an emergency department (ED) or were dead on arrival (DOA) and 46.9 percent occurred out-of-hospital*. Nearly half of heart diseased patients aren't aware of their heart status. If one fears their heart status is worse (e.g. after exercise or after watching a horror film), they may go to a hospital or stop current activities to try and prevent further damage. With our Heart Health Monitor, now you can check your heart status at anytime, anywhere. If at any time you feel uncomfortable, use our Heart Health Monitor to perform a preliminary diagnosis. A simple test may save your life.
