The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute has been a leader in conducting and supporting clinical studies of heart disease, including open heart surgery and artificial hearts, as well as educating the public about the prevention of heart attacks through control of high blood pressure, control of high levels of blood cholesterol, and cessation of smoking. Research advances and lifestyle changes have helped lower the death rate from heart disease by 43 percent since 1972.
