February is American Heart Month 2023, a month dedicated to helping Americans avoid one of the biggest threats to their lives.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States (CDC).
The fact is, almost 700,000 people die of heart disease in the Unites States every year.
