According to the American Heart Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), coronary artery disease, the most common type of heart disease, is the No. 1 killer of Americans. Because of the seriousness of this disease, afflicted people trust their doctors to diagnose and treat heart attacks correctly.
