Doctors and scientists re
viewing recent morality fig
ures from the National Center

that heart attack death rates
have moved moderately
downward since 1968. but that
heart attack is still the nat
ion's leading cause of death
with over 650.000 victims a
vear
In North Carolina, out of a
total of 47.870 deaths in 1973.
26.380 ( 55 percent' were from
heart disease.
Although authorities can't
pinpoint reasons for the de
cline. credit is being given to
the American public's grow
ing awareness of the meance
of heart disease.
Medical and community
programs such as those devel
oped by the North Carolina
Heart Association have helped
to create that awareness,
bringing new knowledge and
methods of heart disease pre
vention to medical profession
als and the general public.

source of new knowledge and
