Take Control of Your Heart Health

In celebration of World Heart Day on Sept. 29, the World Heart Federation asks us to promise to take control of our heart health. The first step in making this promise is understanding the factors that can increase our risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), a condition that causes more than 20 million deaths worldwide every year. Learn the risk factors and how to reduce your risk of CVD.
