Cardiac disease is the Number One cause of death in both men and women in the United States today. Coronary Heart Disease accounts for more deaths than all cancers combined. Each year approximately 500,000 people die from coronary heart disease - of those, 250,000 people will die within one hour of the onset of the symptoms....many before reaching the hospital. Despite these alarming statistics, and due to recent advances in medicine, it is possible to prevent heart attacks from occurring or recurring. North Ohio Heart Center (NOHC) is pleased to announce the addition of our Cardiac Wellness & Prevention Program, aimed at reducing your risk for the development or progression of heart disease.
