Coronary Heart Disease
• This year about 1.2 million Americans will have a first or recurrent
coronary attack. About 479,000 of these people will die. Coronary
heart disease is the nation’s single leading cause of death.
• About 7.2 million Americans age 20 and older have survived a heart attack
(myocardial infarction). About 6.5 million Americans have angina pectoris
(chest pain or discomfort due to reduced blood supply to the heart).
The Hebrew word for "heart" is לב (lev). The heart is the concrete and physical "heart", the organ in the chest. But, this same word also represents the abstract idea of "emotion" as the ancient Hebrews understood the "heart" as the seat of emotion (much like we see thinking being associated with the brain).
Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
1 John 3:3
Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.
