Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and Europe.
Alarmingly, more than one in four people in the U.S. have one or more types of cardiovascular disease. Most procedures are costly, and their results are often painful, debilitating and of questionable long-term worth. Coronary Bypass Surgery and Prescriptive Drug Therapy often have unwanted side-effects. An estimated 485,000 coronary artery bypass surgeries were performed in 1993. Your cardiovascular system consists of 60,000 miles of arteries, veins and capillaries.
