How many people die from Coronary heart disease every year


How many people die from Coronary heart disease every year?
Trying to finish a project, but I can't find definite numbers of how many suffer from it and how many die and such. Also, how long can someone with it be expected to live?

An estimated 17.1 million people died from CVDs in 2004, representing 29%of all global deaths. Of these deaths, an estimated 7.2 million were due to coronary heart disease and 5.7 million were due to stroke. In developed countries, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in both sexes, accounting for about one third of all deaths. Mortality rate among white men is about 1/10,000 at ages 25 to 34 and nearly 1/100 at ages 55 to 64. Mortality rate among white men aged 35 to 44 is 6.1 times that among age-matched white women. For unknown reasons, the sex difference is less marked in nonwhites. Mortality rate among women increases after menopause and, by age 75, equals or even exceeds that of men
