Diseases of the Heart, Lung and Blood

Diseases of the Heart, Lung and Blood

Each year 479,000 Americans die of heart attacks and more than 35 million suffer from emphysema and other lung diseases. Heart, lung, and blood diseases cause more deaths than any other family of diseases. Mayo Clinic investigators remain at the forefront of predicting not only who will get the diseases but also developing new treatments for them.
