Abstract | The prevalence and magnitude of cardiovascular disease in the United States make it the leading cause of mortality, far surpassing deaths from all cancers. More than 900,000 Americans die each year from cardiovascular causes, including stroke, hypertension, congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis, and congenital heart defects, according to American Heart Association estimates. Coronary heart disease alone accounts for 50% of all cardiovascular deaths. A host of agents designed to help manage cardiovascular disorders and related conditions (eg, hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia) are available to physicians who treat patients at high risk. In this interview, Jerome D. Cohen, MD, explains why more aggressive use of these drug treatments today could significantly improve older patients' quality of life and reduce the risk of a disabling or fatal cardiovascular event in the next millennium. |
