Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States, taking more lives each year than all forms of cancer and chronic lower respiratory disease combined. It’s estimated that nearly half of all adults in the United States have heart disease.1
This article will highlight important facts and statistics you should know about heart disease. Heart Disease Overview Cardiovascular disease (referred to here simply as heart disease) is a condition that affects the heart or blood vessels. The most common type of heart disease is coronary artery disease, which occurs when plaque builds up in the walls of arteries supplying blood to the heart.2 This disease can lead to a heart attack.3
Other types of heart disease include:4 • Congestive heart failure • Heart rhythm problems • Congenital heart disease • Endocarditis
How Common Is Heart Disease? Heart disease is prevalent in the United States and most of the world. Between 2015 and 2018:1 • Nearly 1 out of every 2 adults in the United States had a form of heart disease. • About 4 out of 10 women in the United States ages 20 and older had some form of heart disease. • About 5 out of 10 men in the United States, ages 20 and older, had some form of heart disease.
The number of American adults with heart disease is increasing. Between 2013 and 2016, 121.5 million American adults had heart disease.5 Between 2015 and 2018, the number of American adults with heart disease was 126.9 million.1
Heart Disease by Age and Gender Between 2015 and 2018, 54.1% of men 20 and older and 44.4% of women 20 and older had some form of heart disease.1 Heart disease is also the number one cause of death in new mothers, with Black women having the highest maternal mortality rates. Men are more likely than women to develop heart disease. However, women’s risk of heart disease increases during midlife, and it’s believed that declining sex hormone levels that occur during menopause likely play a role.8
The risk of having heart disease increases with age, and by age 80 and older, nearly 9 out of 10 men and more than 9 out of 10 women have heart disease.1 Causes of Heart Disease and Risk Factors Certain medical conditions and behaviors put people at higher risk for heart disease. The most significant risk factors for heart disease are prior heart or vascular disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking.
Other risk factors for heart disease include:2 • Sleep disorders • Chronic stress • Family history • Chronic kidney disease • Autoimmune disorders
