The hidden epidemic : heart disease in America
This excellent documentary looks at the impact that heart disease has on most Americans. As the No. 1 killer in this country, heart disease accounts for more deaths than all cancers combined.
In addition to stories of everyday people, some only in their teens, this program looks at the famous Framingham Heart Study that has been going on for nearly 60 years. New advances are being made daily in discovering both causes and treatments, and there are many things one can do to reduce risks and forestall problems.
The documentary is followed by a Larry King interview with five leading health experts that examines preventive strategies in greater detail.
And, does a decent job delineating the differences between males and females in the development and treatment of heart disease.
