                         February is American Heart Month





Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and is a major cause of disability. The most common heart disease in the United States is coronary heart disease, which often appears as a heart attack. In 2008, an estimated 770,000 Americans will have a new coronary attack, and about 430,000 will have a recurrent attack. About every 26 seconds, an American will have a coronary event, and about one every minute will die from one.

My Memory

Meredith Richards Feb 23, 2008

I lost my uncle Derek who was very dear to me to a sudden cardiac arrest. Of course I didnt realize at that time what it meant or how widespread this condition was. Now even after 3 years of his passing, I still miss him and his love and guidance and am so humbled to be able to share my grief and memories with so many out there who have lost loved ones to similar situation. My prayer and thought goes out to all of them and esp, my uncle.....I miss you uncle Dodo.

About every 26 seconds, an American will have a coronary event, and about one every minute will die from one. Lets take a step together to prevent and control factors that put people at greater risk.
