The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that heart disease in the United States has decreased by 50% in the last 20 years. This is mainly due to the improvement in medical treatment, and a risk factor reduction.

These medical advancements are estimated at saving 341,000 lives that in the 1980’s would have been lost to heart disease.

Medical Researchers are optimistic about lowering the number of heart disease deaths with the introduction of progressive medication. They have seen an intensive decrease in patients suffering from high cholesterol, and a positive increase in the control of blood pressure in heart attack patients.
