Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)

Remains the #1 Killer in Montana

• More than 14,000 Montanans died from cardiovascular disease, which includes heart disease and stroke, from 2015 to 2019. Prevention is possible, however, through lifestyle modifications.
• Did you know up to 80% of strokes could be prevented by healthy lifestyle changes and working with your healthcare team to manage any risk factors you might have?
• If you have CVD or have been told you are at risk, please take time to participate in this community survey. DPHHS is looking to strengthen heart disease and stroke prevention efforts across Montana.
