For the Record

This is not the face of heart disease.

It’s the face of Charles Dubin — choir singer, moviegoer and retired TV director. Four years ago, Charles had “a funny feeling in his chest.” When Charles heard the words “heart disease” from his doctor, he feared losing his independence and his ability to enjoy life fully. But, thanks to effective medicines, today he’s enjoying an active retirement. And, with his new healthier lifestyle, Charles is also doing his part to keep his heart in shape. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among Americans. But in the last 30 years, modern medicines have helped reduce the number of deaths by half. New medicines are also helping to keep more patients out of the hospital by controlling high-risk conditions that lead to heart disease, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Pharmaceutical company researchers are working hard to discover breakthroughs that will help make many illnesses and diseases a thing of the past and bring more patients new hope for a better tomorrow. So, more people like Charles can get on with living and go on with the show.
