Hidden Epidemic: Heart Disease in America
Human Interest, Lifestyle, Science, Social Issues - 1x82

Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans. How can a seemingly healthy 44-year-old suddenly drop dead from a massive heart attack? His case is not unusual, as this documentary explains. More than half of all people who die of heart disease succumb suddenly without warning: and the other half have the disease lurking in their bodies for many years before it strikes. There is no cure, but doctors are making remarkable discoveries about the disease: where it starts, how it occurs, and what that means for us.
