This is a good statistic from AHA. Estimates for the year 2004 are that 79,400,000 Americans have one or more forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD). * High blood pressure — 72,000,000. * Coronary heart disease — 15,800,000. o Myocardial infarction (mi"o-KAR'de-al in-FARK'shun) (acute heart attack) — 7,900,000. o Angina pectoris (AN'jih-nah or an-JI'nah PEK'tor-is) (chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood supply to the heart muscle) — 8,900,000. * Stroke — 5,700,000. Cardiovascular diseases * Claimed 871,500 lives in 2004 (36.3 percent of all deaths or 1 of every 2.8 deaths). * Other 2004 mortality: total cancer 550,270; accidents 108,694; HIV (AIDS) 12,995. * Over 147,000 Americans killed by CVD are under age 65. * 2004 death rates from CVD were 335.7 for white males and 448.9 for black males; for white females 239.3 and for black females 331.6. (Death rates are per 100,000 population. The rates listed use the year 2000 standard U.S. population as the base for age adjustment.) * From 1994 to 2004, death rates from CVD declined 25 percent. * In the same 10-year period the actual number of deaths declined 8 percent.

Oprah's doctor on her own show once claimed that 1 in 2 women in the US suffer or are potential victims of heart disease, with the possible consequences of becoming fatal if left untreated. It's the malignant, latent nature of heart disease that's most people don't understand. FACT #1: 150 years ago heart disease was virtually unheard of. Today it is the #1 cause of death in America. It kills nearly 30% of us. In fact, it kills more women than all forms of cancer, chronic lung disease, pneumonia, AIDS, diabetes and accidents combined. FACT #2: In one year, 407,000 patients had bypass surgery. Around 4% (over 16,000) of these patients died on the table or a few weeks later. That same year, the 400,000 patients who had angioplasty surgery didn’t do much better — another 2 to 4% of these patients also died. The conservative medical establishment’s own Journal of the American Medical Association admits that nearly 50% of all bypass patients shouldn’t have had this deadly surgery.
