International statistics of cardiovascular diseases.
According to WHO estimates, 17 million people around the globe die of CVD each year. In 1998 there were 7.3 million deaths from heart attack and 5.1 million from stroke. Another 15 million each year survive minor strokes. 600 million people with high blood pressure are at risk of heart attack, stroke and cardiac failure.
CVD causes 8.5 million deaths among women annually. It’s the largest single cause of mortality among women, accounting for one-third of all deaths in women worldwide. In developing countries, half of all deaths of women over 50 are due to heart disease and stroke.
From the latest data of World Health Organization (WHO) MONICA Project indicate that the coronary event rate (per 100,000) in men was highest in Finland (North Karelia, 835) and lowest in China (Beijing, 81). For women the highest event rate was in the United Kingdom (UK) (Glasgow, Scotland, 265) and lowest in Spain (Catalonia, 35) and China (Beijing, 35). These data represent results from 35 MONICA Project populations collected during the mid-1980s until the mid-1990s.
In 1999 CVD contributed to one-third of global deaths. Low- and middle-income countries contributed to 78 percent of CVD deaths. By 2010 CVD is estimated to be the leading cause of death in developing countries. Heart disease has no geographic, gender or socioeconomic boundaries.
CVD is the leading cause of death in Europe, accounting for over 4 million deaths each year. Nearly half (49 percent) of all deaths are from CVD (55 percent of deaths in women and 43 percent of deaths in men). About half of all deaths from CVD are from CHD and nearly one-third are from stroke.
CVD accounted for more than 238,000 deaths in the UK in 2002. 39 percent of deaths in the UK are from CVD. 35 percent of
