00:00While heart attack fatalities drop, new cardiac risks are emerging.

00:05Heart attack deaths in the U.S. have decreased by 89 percent since 1970 due to advances in

00:11emergency care, CPR, medications, and public awareness.

00:15However, chronic heart conditions are rising, necessitating a prevention and management focus.

00:24Doctors' efforts have cut heart attack deaths sharply.

00:27Faster treatment and drugs like aspirin and statins raised survival.

00:32Once over 90 percent of cardiac deaths, fatal heart attacks now cause just over half.

00:38With more survivors, focus must shift from emergency care to long-term prevention.

00:45Chronic heart conditions are increasing, with arrhythmia deaths up 450 percent, heart failure

00:51by 146 percent, and hypertensive heart disease by 106 percent, driven by aging, obesity,

00:57diabetes, poor diet, inactivity, and high stress.

01:05Daily habits impact heart health.

01:06Poor nutrition, inactivity, stress, and inadequate sleep heighten risks.

01:11Especially in underserved communities, mental health is crucial.

01:18The American Heart Association promotes Life's Essential Eight, a set of simple habits that

01:23encourage a balanced diet, exercise, a healthy weight, no tobacco, quality sleep, and managing

01:28vitals.

01:29Community support and small changes reduce heart disease mortality significantly.

01:38Healthcare systems prioritize prevention, lifestyle changes, and early detection, using wearable

01:42monitors and telemedicine to reduce deaths.
