Heart Disease

Heart disease has been a common disease in the United States that not

many people discussed1 about. According to the American Heart Association

numbers have spiked up to almost half of the population in the U.S. having some

type of heart disease. There are not so many options2 to heart disease

treatment and heart disease should be taken seriously. According to the article,

heart doctors are beginning to assume3 higher numbers as the years go by. It

has been determined4 that Americans 20 to 60 and older have some sort of

heart disease. The age of 20 sounds very young and also indicates5 that the U.S.

is doing something wrong. The factors of heart disease propose6 high blood

pressure which has been known to provide7 serious problems, not just in the U.S.,

but around the world. Doctors say that the numbers of people with heart

disease are going to be like a graph8 that is going to continue unless something

is done. In experience of my own, many of my family members have high blood

pressure, similarly9 to that of the 132 million americans. My grandmother has to

take medication every single day to keep her blood pressure down and if not

she can die. Although there is such a high number of heart disease patients, an

evaluation10 has shown that most of those people have their disease under

control.

Afterall, the medical field always counters11 diseases and prevails. The

day in which something invented to end heart disease will be grandiose.

Although, for now heart disease patients have to contend12 with their disease

but they also have to remain strong.
