Discussion Topic

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Almost 700,000 people die of heart disease in the U.S. each year. Heart disease is a term that includes several more specific heart conditions, although the most common heart disease in the United States is coronary heart disease, which can lead to heart attacks.

  • What factors in the Industrial Age caused the rate of heart disease to grow, particularly in the mid-20th century?
  • Why is it so common today?

Make sure that you use sources for BOTH time frames (20th century and present day). Make good use of your textbook and other sources. Provide complete citations for these sources and use direct quotes sparingly.
