The numbers of people getting at least one heart-related disease are growing each year. The American Heart Association did a research on the US population and found that by 2035, 45 percent of them will have at least a healthy problem related to heart disease.
The update is not what was anticipated previously by the study. It was estimated that 100 million of the total US population would suffer from heart-related disease by 2030 but it happened in 2015 - 15 years sooner.
Other findings reported by EurekAlert, list an increasing risk of cardiovascular disease by the age of 45 with a staggering leap from 50 to 80 percent. Black Americans will reportedly have the highest rates of heart-related problems by 2035, with Hispanics come second.
Cardiovascular problem is the most expensive disease in the country and with that being the case, experts have predicted that the condition will get worse by 2035.
Experts have long cautioned individuals who are working sedentarily for hours. These people may be prone to blood circulation problems that can lead to risks of getting a cardiovascular disease like heart attack and stroke.
Instead of relying on medical policies and funds, health experts encourage each person to focus on prevention while the government making an easy access to affordable medical care.
