In a nutshell

Heart attack deaths have dropped by 89% since 1970, thanks to major medical advances, public health efforts, and better emergency care.
Other heart conditions like heart failure, arrhythmias, and high blood pressure-related disease have sharply increased, now accounting for nearly half of all heart disease deaths.
As Americans live longer, surviving heart attacks often leads to chronic heart problems, highlighting the growing need to manage long-term cardiovascular health, not just prevent heart attacks.
