Sure to send a chill down your spine, it is a fact that every 20 seconds, a person in the United States suffer a heart attack and every 34 seconds dies from heart disease?! This results in more than 2,500 heart disease-related deaths each day’ leading to at least 250,000 death before they reach a hospital.
With the statistics in front, it is needless to say how careful and cautious we must be about the disease.
