HEART HEALTH

Overview

Around 48% of adults in the U.S. have some form of cardiovascular disease, yet many do not seek professional help or receive an accurate diagnosis. Having heart health issues means your cardiovascular system is not working optimally, leading to symptoms that can significantly affect your quality of life. This condition can have a substantial impact on both your professional and personal life.

Every year, numerous adults struggle with the effects of undiagnosed heart conditions. Studies have shown that individuals with heart health issues often face misunderstandings and misconceptions, resulting in feelings of frustration, low self-esteem, and anxiety about their condition.
