If all forms of cancer were cured today, what do you think would replace it as being the most dangerous to people?

Heart Disease

If all forms of cancer were cured I believe that heart disease would take its place as being the most dangerous disease to people.

First of all, the leading cause of death in the United States is caused by some form of heart disease. Heart disease is when an artery in your heart gets clogged with fatty materials which then leads to a blood clot which can then lead to a heart attack.

Every year around 47 percent of women who are diagnosed with heart disease die. Before 1900, not many people died from heart disease. Between 1940 and 1967, the world health organisation called it the world’s most serious epidemic. This was largely caused because people were not moving around as much with inventions such as washing machines and dryers. People also began eating fatty foods, more and more butter was being made and ice-cream machines were now in use.

After this happened, medical science immediately went to work to try and find the causes and cures for heart disease.

Drug treatments are used to lower blood pressure or cholesterol and prevent or dissolve blood clots. Medical procedures are used to diagnose and treat heart disease, some procedures include: heart transplant, coronary angioplasty and coronary stenting.

Definition: An abnormality in the heart and, or a blood vessel that is not functioning properly. Aimee Manicaro 5white
