“Heart Attacks Fall One-Third Among Older Americans”

Heart Attacks Fall One-Third Among Older Americans,” by Steven Reinberg,

“The study of more than 4 million Medicare patients found that hospitalizations for heart attacks dropped 38 percent between 1995 and 2014. At the same time, deaths within 30 days of a heart attack reached an all-time low of 12 percent, down more than one-third since 1995.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

Less heart disease = More Alzheimer’s.
