Statistics

Heart Disease Is A Winner

Each year heart disease is at the top of the list of the country's most serious health problems. In fact, statistics show that cardiovascular disease, or heart disease, is America's leading health problem and the leading cause of death. Consider these statistics:

At least 68 million people in this country suffer from some form of heart disease.

One person in four suffers from some form of cardiovascular disease, including:
high blood pressure - 50,000,000
coronary heart disease - 13,490,000
stroke - 3,820,000

Almost one out of every two Americans will die of cardiovascular disease.

Each year, more than one million Americans die from cardiovascular disease.

Nearly as many people die from cardiovascular disease as from cancer, accidents,
pneumonia, influenza and all other causes of death combined.

Cardiovascular disease costs $117 billion annually.

It is a myth that heart disease is a man's disease - studies have shown that it is the
number one killer for women, as well as for men.

While it's true that men generally begin suffering from heart disease at a younger age than
women, more than half the women alive today will die from cardiovascular disease.

Heart disease is an equal opportunity killer - affecting both sexes, every race, and all
ages.
