How many people die from heart disease per year?

Question

I'm really random but i've been wondering this lately...oh plz provides sources if possible! ^^

Answer 1

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.

Answer 5

Much more people in the US could be death of terrorism if we didn't restrict it. We spend some huge cash on heart disorder too; however numerous persons do not care for themselves, which makes it more difficult to avert. Relatively, I cannot whinge an excessive amount of about well being care in the US. It's better than in most nations.
