Deaths from Coronary heart disease discussion

Facts About Cardiovascular Disease: CDC-OC (Excerpt)

Death rates from CHD decreased dramatically during the 1960s and 1970s, with slower declines occurring during the 1980s. The recent data for the 1990s indicate that the rate of decline in CHD deaths is continuing to slow down. These slowdowns in the rate of the decline of heart disease deaths may mean that progress in reducing these deaths is in jeopardy. (Source: excerpt from Facts About Cardiovascular Disease: CDC-OC)

Heart Attacks: NHLBI (Excerpt)

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. CHD is caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart, and often results in a heart attack. (Source: excerpt from Heart Attacks: NHLBI)
