Hearts in European Union Invite Health Attention

London: European Union has a huge health problem of having too many ailing hearts, making it the number one health ailment in the Union, that costed the bloc’s members, a whopping 169 billion euros in 2003, according to a study. Take a look at the annual statistics, but watch your heart before you read them. Cardiovascular disease ruled, making a dent of 230 euros on an average on Healthcare costs, per person. As a consequence, absenteeism from work amounted to 268.5 million lost working days, with 2 million people succumbing to it and 4.4 million debilitated, like living hell.
