The Senate officially named February 2026 as 'American Heart Month.' This is a tradition that started in 1964 to help people learn about heart health and the dangers of heart disease.
Heart disease is the top cause of death in the U.S. In 2023, it killed over 919,000 people. That is more than all types of cancer and lung diseases put together.
The resolution highlights that heart disease is very expensive. Between 2020 and 2021, it cost the country $417 billion in medical bills and lost work time.
The goal is to encourage everyone to live healthier. By eating better, staying active, and getting checkups, people can lower their risk of heart attacks or strokes.
