February is Heart Health month around the world. For the Boone Heart Institute, it is a celebration of the advancements made to eradicate Heart Disease, but also a reminder there is more work to be done.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. for both men and women. Though it is the #1 killer, it is also one of the most preventable diseases.

At the Boone Heart Institute, we have always maintained the ultimate goal of eradicating heart disease.
