Heart disease is recognized as the number one epidemic in American people.
In the United States, approximately 1.25 million heart attacks occur each year. Half the victims of such attacks die before they reach a hospital. These scary statistics deserve your very serious attention. The cause of the most common form of heart disease is blockage of the arteries that supply the heart muscle. The blockages, results of the condition known as atherosclerosis, are caused by plaques forming along the internal walls of the arteries.
