Researchers Find a 28% Drop in Cardiovascular Deaths in U.S.

If you have been diagnosed with a severe cardiovascular disease that has caused you to become disabled, you may be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits.

The Doctor's Lounge reports that a new study finds that since the 90s, the national death rate from cardiovascular diseases has dropped by 28%. Unfortunately, it appears that stroke and heart disease are the cause of one-third of all deaths in the United States.

In addition, the cost to prevent and treat heart disease is more than that for the prevention and treatment of cancer or any other serious medical condition. The American Heart Association reports that in 2007 the cost was $286 billion.

Researchers of this study found that between the years 1997 to 2007, surgery for cardiovascular procedures had increased by almost 30%.

Yet Americans are continuing to make poor choices that increase the risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke. Obesity, smoking and a lack of exercise are significant contributing factors.

The diagnosis of a severe mental or physical medical condition may qualify you to receive disability benefits. A Social Security disability attorney can not only advise you on qualifications but on how to file your application properly so that it has a greater chance of being approved the first time.

When you are interviewing Social Security Disability attorneys ask critical questions, like: how many Social Security Disability hearings do you have per month; do you understand the SSA's POMS (the manual Social Security employees use to process claims); and, do you understand the date last insured and how it affects my disability onset date?
