This article by the CDC is bringing awareness to Heart Disease Month which is this month. The article also includes weekly tips, which include a plan for prevention and the symptoms of a heart attack,  that can help prevent heart disease. It then reads the bold-print fact, "Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, but heart disease is preventable and controllable." About 715,000 Americans have a heart attack every year. In the United States alone, about 600,000 people die from heart disease every year, which is one out of every four deaths. Even more, heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. 

The author of this article is using facts based on statistics. However, whomever wrote this article is stressing a better lifestyle by encouraging us to exercise more and eat more healthier. Other strategies are included in the "plan for prevention" section.
