Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and in Kentucky, with about 10,000 residents dying from heart disease annually. However, individuals can make choices to lessen their risk factors. Maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle, including exercise, healthy diet, stress management, and regular checkups, is crucial. Recognizing the symptoms of a heart attack and seeking immediate medical attention is also important.

Innovations in cardiovascular care, such as drug-eluting stents and remote monitoring devices, are helping patients combat heart disease. [Extracted from the article]
