A resolution designating February 2025 as "American Heart Month".

Sponsored By: Senator Durbin, Richard J. [D-IL]

Passed Senate

Summary

American Heart Month designates February 2025 to spotlight cardiovascular disease and prevention. The resolution says CVD is the leading cause of death in the United States, caused over 940,000 deaths in 2022, and that heart disease and stroke together killed more people in 2021 than cancer and chronic lower respiratory disease combined. It cites a 4.8% rise in heart disease deaths from 2019 to 2020, notes $252 billion in health care expenditures and lost productivity between 2019 and 2020, projects about $1.0 trillion in CVD-related costs by 2035, and urges awareness, research, and steps to reduce risk.
