“For the past century, heart disease has remained the leading cause of death in the United States. Fortunately, as our understanding of the disease has evolved over time, we have made advances in treatment options to help people reduce their risk for a devastating cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke. 

But staying one step ahead of this disease requires both providers and patients to continually follow and implement the latest science and regulatory guidance on what treatment options are safe, effective, and FDA-approved. Sadly, this isn’t happening and misinformation about treatment options poses a significant public health concern, which the FDA has acknowledged and in July issued new guidance on how companies can combat it.”
