Sudden Cardiac Events Can Kill
Numbers from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reveal that nearly 1.2 million men died last year in the United States.
Of those, 28.4 percent (or 340,933) died of heart disease.
An earlier CDC study showed that 63 percent of all cardiac deaths in the country resulted from unexpected or sudden cardiac events. Half of those men were dead before they reached a hospital.
