Hi Kaitlyn! Congratulations on your infographic! I enjoyed your article and how you gave references from the CDC. Heart disease is a big problem that impacts thousands of people, and it should be discussed more about it. Thank you for offering tips on protecting from heart disease and its symptoms. I also liked how you added the CDC link at the bottom of the page so we, as readers, can go and look for more reliable information. Again, Congratulations!

Your infographic was great and got straight to the point. I do like how you listed the symptoms but still said it takes a professional diagnosis to truly do anything. It was concerning reading how much it affects people on a daily basis but thank you for teaching me new information.

Hi Kaitlyn, great infographic! It was extremely informative and eye opening. I didn’t know these statistics for heart disease. One of the ones that shocked me the most is the fact that 1 person every 40 seconds has a heart attack in the United States. I really liked the quote promoting healthy habits as a great way to start taking care of yourself. I also liked how you provided resources for people to look at for more information. Thank you for spreading awareness to this issue! Great work!

Hi Kaitlyn! This was a wonderful infographic about such a silent killer. I never realized how many people were affected by heart disease. It makes me look at everything a little different, especially because it does affect so many people. I never thought that heart disease could start as young as 20, that was very mind blowing for me. Thank you for bringing awareness to this and good luck at the ceremony!

I like this infographic about heart diseases that can raise people’s awareness of how deadly this disease is that silently killed us through our everyday unhealthy consumption. Both of my parents have potential risks of heart disease, and I am also concerned about my heart health. Usually heart disease came from unhealthy food and daily activities, so I am trying my best to be on track with healthy routine: exercise more and reduce fast food.

Your infographic is packed with useful information; it appears a little crowded, but it all works nicely together. I’d heard a lot about heart disease, but I didn’t truly understand what it was and how it affected people. The first data you provided was eye-opening in terms of the prevalence of this problem. Congratulations on your nomination and great job raising awareness about this issue!

I find it really interesting that their many different types of heart diseases in the world. I never had an idea that heart disease is really common in the US. Great Information.

This article is very informing. Due to my family history high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol are all in my genes due to genetics. This article is very informing because such things as changing a diet and even engaging in excessive has kept me off of medication to help regulate that and being strapped to a machine and relying on insulin. I never knew how much or common this was. 1/4 for women and 1/3 for men. All of this is informing in a nice and simple way. I wish I had this when i was learning about all this instead I was just given a huge paper and lecture on the causes and symptoms.

I knew that heart disease is the number one killer in the United States, but to the extent that this infographic shows is terrifying. The infographic conveys the information well, and the colors set the mood nicely for what is being discussed. The information is interesting and helpful in explaining important information about what heart disease is and ways to prevent it.
