life insurance for people with heart disease
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, making it a significant underwriting factor for life insurance. The type of heart condition, treatment history, and current health status all affect insurability. Many people with well-managed heart conditions can still get life insurance.
What You Need to Know
- Type and severity of heart condition significantly affects insurability
- Time since cardiac event matters — 12+ months post-event improves outcomes
- Successful treatment (stent, bypass, medication) can improve insurability
- Ejection fraction and current cardiac function are key underwriting factors
- An independent agent specializing in impaired risk can find the best carrier
