Projected Costs of Informal Caregiving for Cardiovascular Disease: 2015-2035

Introduction: In a recent report, the American Heart Association estimated that medical costs and productivity losses of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are expected to grow from $555 billion in 2015 to $1.1 trillion in 2035.
