Cardiovascular Disease:
 An estimated 71 million
Americans have one or more
forms of cardiovascular
disease.
Cardiovascular disease is
responsible for one of every
2.7 deaths.
Since 1900, CVD has been the
number one killer in the
United States every year
except 1918.
Nearly 2,500 Americans die
of CVD each day, an average
of one death every 35
seconds. CVD claims more
lives each year than the
next four leading causes of
death combined, which are
cancer, chronic lower
respiratory diseases,
accidents, and diabetes
mellitus.
