Vitals Co-Founder Todd Rosengart Offers Lifesaving Tips in the Fight

Against Heart Disease

LYNDHURST, N.J., Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- While recent data released from the Center for Disease Control indicates that deaths resulting from coronary heart disease and stroke have declined since 1999*, major risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol remain on the rise. Vitals.com, a leading online doctor evaluation service listing more than 12,700 cardiologists, is "Going Red" in February at http://www.vitals.com/focus/heart to support American Heart Month and promote the simple steps that Americans can take to improve their heart health through early detection and living well.
