When most people think about someone receiving treatment for heart disease, they picture that individual with an assortment of symptoms. Erase that image. Or keep it and just stretch it a bit – because heart disease doesn’t just happen in a heart beat. And, by the time you start to exhibit symptoms, a lot of damage may have already been done.
That’s why we apply the broadest of definitions to the word, “treatment,” and have focused our energies not only on medical and surgical interventions but also on risk assessment and preventive therapy.
