Cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of death in the US, prematurely killing over 800,000 people every year. For 50% of Americans, the FIRST sign of underlying cardiovascular disease IS a heart attack. Every 25 seconds someone has a heart attack and every single minute someone dies. If a person survives their first heart attack (only 50%), the average annual out of pocket cost (after insurance) for stroke or heart attack patients is $25,000 - $30,000 and does not include loss of income due to loss of productivity.
And, according to Kaiser those (out of pocket) costs can rise at minimum $100,000 if surgery is involved. With the latest advances in testing, thorough screening and comprehensive treatment, most of these early cardiac events and deaths are preventable.
Preventive cardiology as offered by Dr. Retzler focuses on a strategy to prevent you from not only going broke but being a cardiovascular death statistic.
