Each year, nearly 18 million lives are claimed by cardiovascular disease — a toll that falls with particular weight on men, who suffer heart attacks earlier, more often, and with less preparation than women. The gap is not merely biological; it is also a story of culture and habit, of warnings unheeded and appointments postponed. Cardiologists in Chile and beyond are asking men to reckon with a quiet truth: the heart does not wait for a convenient moment, but prevention can.

Households face increased healthcare expenditures, insurance premiums, and lost household income from premature male mortality. Preventive care demand may increase consumer spending on wellness services, diagnostics, and medications.
