By Sam Johnson  SO WHAT CAN WE DO TO FIGHT HEART DISEASE IN AMERICA? Medical experts and researchers agree, we need to continue to invest resources in the prevention of heart disease, the treatment of risk factors and early treatment of existing cardiovascular disease, and in educating the public about the serious nature of this disease. And it has to begin at an early age and be sustained throughout adulthood. Believe the American Heart Association when it says: "Heart disease has probably already touched you or someone you know. Make it your mission to fight heart disease and stop the No. 1 killer in America!"
