Summary

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for approximately 700,000 deaths a year. Heart disease can take many forms, including heart attacks, coronary artery disease, aneurysms, high blood pressure, and strokes. However, people can change things in their life to reduce the risk of getting heart disease. This study will first create an Internet-based program to help teach people about reducing heart disease risk and will then test the program in a workplace setting.
