NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardiovascular disease accounts for 40 percent of all deaths in the United States, more than all forms of cancer combined.

Take control of your health to help sustain a healthy heart now and for years to come.

a family history of the disease, you do have control over your weight

and dietary salt intake, two other major risk factors.

-- The fatty tissue gained with excess weight also requires oxygen and

nutrients, causing an increase in blood pressure that can lead to a

two to three times higher risk of heart failure. Decrease your risk by
