• “In treatment, we don’t ask if spending $80,000 on heart bypass surgery is a good investment.  It’s dramatic to save a life”, says David DeJoy, Director of Workplace Health Group at the University of Georgia at Athens.  “But in prevention we talk about ROI.  Employers ask if $200 [for screening] is a good investment.  If we can get 70% of workers with high blood pressure into treatment and prevent five heart attacks in a workforce of 5,000, the potential savings is tremendous."

• A study involving 120,000 patients estimated that 80 to 90% of heart attacks could be traced to lifestyle factors, including smoking, overeating and under exercising.
