&lt;p&gt;Heart disease is the cause of death for 700,000 Americans&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; and nearly 17.9 million people worldwide every year.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; While some of these individuals likely had indicators for higher risk, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure, studies show that up to 70% of people who die from a heart attack do not have any of these traditional markers.&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; Even young, seemingly &lt;a href="https://cleerlyhealth.com/individuals"&gt;healthy individuals&lt;/a&gt; can experience a sudden cardiac event. Almost a quarter of heart-disease related deaths happen in men between the ages of 35 and 65.&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
