Experts indicate that while cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of death in America, patients respond to it with an alarming lack of urgency compared to other illnesses, like cancer. During a conference at Harvard T.H. Chan School, experts highlighted the need for a cultural shift in how patients approach prevention. They noted significant advancements in medical technology for treatment but expressed concern about the casual attitude many exhibit regarding preventive measures. This indifference poses a challenge to efforts aimed at combating heart disease effectively.
You get a cancer diagnosis, and everybody moves... You say, 'heart disease' and people don't move in the same way.
This happens to me every single week in the clinic when I'm seeing patients... cardiovascular disease kills more Americans every year than every single cancer combined.
