      Great question. I could try. The thing about heart disease and cardiovascular disease is that it is caused by inflammation. Inflammation also causes lots of other diseases (like cancer) so we could turn our attention to other diseases. Perhaps the best thing about curing cardiovascular disease though is that I might live longer and be able to look into these other diseases.
