The Problem:
Cardiovascular disorders are one of the diseases that has contributed to the high mortality rates globally. It is estimated that in the near future, the medication cost of cardiovascular disorders will have risen to approximately 860 billion dollars worldwide. At almost a Trillion dollars USD that is bigger than the budgets of most countries in the world.
In The United States Alone:
• Around 610,000 indeviduals die of heart-disease in the USA each year, that’s 1 in every 4 deaths! Heart-Disease, Strokes & other Cardiovascular-Diseases
• Cardiovascular-disease, is listed as the underlying cause of death and it accounts for 836,546 deaths in the USA. That’s about 1 in 3 deaths in the USA.
• About 2,300 Americans die of cardiovascular-disease every day, that's an average of 1 death every 38 seconds.
• Cardiovascular-diseases claim more lives each year than all forms of cancer & Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease combined!
• Around 92.1 million American-adults are currently living with some form of cardiovascular-disease or the after effects of a stroke. The direct and indirect costs of total cardiovascular-diseases and stroke are estimated to total more than $329.7 billion dollars that includes both health expenditures and lost productivity costs.
• Almost half of all black adults have some form of cardiovascular disease. Statistics are about 47.7 percent of black females and 46.0 percent of black males. As you can see the numbers are much higher in the black community in the U.S. and it is reaching alarming rates.
• Coronary-Heart-Disease is the leading cause at 43.8 percent of deaths attributable to cardiovascular-disease in the USA, followed by Stroke at 16.8 percent, Heart-Failure at 9.0 percent, High Blood-Pressure at 9.4 percent, diseases of the arteries at3.1 percent, and other cardiovascular-diseases at 17.9 percent.

It's so amazing the technology that regular people can own and use now. Just a few years ago anything close to this would be in a hospital and have you hooked up to wires while you were being charged a bunch of money or would have to wait for an appointment. We live in exciting times :-)
