Deaths from heart disease are WAY DOWN -- like down 38% in 10 years -- due to smart analysis of data and standardization of best practices for treating heart attacks.

For all the complaints about the healthcare system, it's important to celebrate these actual life-saving wins.

That's an amazing stat.

It also suggests why people at risk for heart attack should not live alone, because that increases the likelihood an ambulance can get to the person.
