Did you know? Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the USand it doesn’t always look the same. Consider this:

  • As many as 1 in 4 people will develop heart failure in their lifetime
  • Many think “heart failure” means the heart stops — it doesn’t
  • With treatment, patients can live full, productive lives

Novant Health makes it easy to understand your personal risk — and take the next steps toward protecting your heart.
