Population affected by coronary heart disease


Population affected by coronary heart disease?
How many people die from coronary artery disease each year? I know it's the no. 1 killer of women and the leading cause of death, but I'd like a number. =)

16 million people in the US have coronary heart disease . More than 500,000 people in the US die from coronary heart disease each year. In Britain it it responsible for 1 in 4 deaths. More than half a million WOMEN die of cardiovascular diseases each year, there are about 60,000 deaths from breast cancer annually, compared to 500,000 deaths from cardiovascular disease. About 2,400 to 2,600 people die every day of cardiovascular disease. These are just some of the figures I found.
