(DURHAM, February 21, 2007) — Heart disease kills more people in New Hampshire than anything else – and it affects people of all ages and both genders. Last fall, a Berlin teenager suffered cardiac arrest while playing football. And recently, a 46-year-old Barrington mother had a heart attack, which was attributed to dangerously high cholesterol levels. Find out how to avoid and mitigate heart disease on an upcoming “LiveFIT NH” NH Outlook special Sunday, February 25th @ 9 a.m. and Tuesday, February 27th @ 7:30 p.m. NH Outlook attended the American Heart Association’s 2007 Heart Ball in Manchester and spoke with teens, parents and young adults who have been touched by heart disease and are working to reduce its deadly effects.NH Outlook, NHPTV’s award-winning public affairs program, is all about New Hampshire.
