Heart Disease Facts
Heart disease describes many conditions that affect a person’s heart. This includes many conditions from diseases of blood vessels, problems in heart rhythm, and conditions of heart defects (“Heart Disease”). More than 610,000 people die each year because of heart disease and 735,000 die of heart attacks, making heart disease the number one leading cause of the death in the U.S. (“Heart Disease Facts”). There are many causes that have been linked to heart disease such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking, too much alcohol, high cholesterol, and caffeine consumption (“What Causes Heart Disease”). Many of these heart problems can be solved by changing health and life choices. We are going to focus on the relationship between heart disease

This will aid in the reduction of the financial implications and health risks of cardiovascular disease (American Heart Association 2014). The National Institute of Health should fund more researches that may lead to the reduction of deaths associated with cardiovascular disease. Stable and predictable funding of researches holds the hope for elevations of cardiovascular disease associated with cholesterol. An example of current research may be evident on a report by McCurry-Schmidt on Ongoing research that focuses on the mimicking good cholesterol in reducing the risk of heart disease. The research focuses on the elimination of low-density lipoproteins cholesterol through the use of synthetic peptides. The mode of action of the synthetic peptides and possible interaction with other microbes may be investigated. Locating targets for the peptides may inform further discoveries of therapies for cholesterol that cause heart disease (McCurry-Schmidt 2014). Implementation of new clinical therapies and change of lifestyle could see a decrease in the number of deaths associated with heart disease occasioned by bad cholesterol (American Heart Association 2014). The American Heart Association advocates for the protection of federal support for the NIH and increased funding for research. More grants and funding of researches may also be
