Lower the Cost of Heart Disease: A Tip Sheet for Heart Health Month

Lower the Cost of Heart Disease: A Tip Sheet for Heart Health Month

The $363 billion annual spend on healthcare services, medicines, and lost productivity due to heart disease in the U.S. is expected to hit a staggering $818.1 billion in yearly expenditures by 2030.

Estimated losses include the following:

  • The health system loses $216 billion annually due to heart disease and stroke
  • On-the-job productivity is reduced by $147 billion annually due to both heart disease and stroke
  • An average of 13 work days are missed per person per year due to heart disease alone


The truth is that 90% of the nearly 18 million heart disease cases worldwide are preventable through adopting a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and not smoking.

That’s why we’ve put together a tip sheet for Heart Health Month to help employers support their teams in preventing heart disease.
