Abstract

This study highlights key statistics related to cardiovascular diseases, emphasizing the significant impact and prevalence of various conditions. Atherosclerosis accounts for 32% of deaths, illustrating its critical role in cardiovascular mortality. Among adults aged 20 years and above, the prevalence of atherosclerosis is 13.8%, indicating a substantial portion of the population is affected. The year 2010 saw a notable decline in the mortality rate of stroke, reflecting improvements in medical interventions and preventive measures. Heart failure, another major cardiovascular concern, is estimated to affect about 30% of the population. Furthermore, coronary heart disease continues to be a leading cause of death, with a mortality rate of approximately 60% in 2010. These statistics underscore the persistent and severe impact of cardiovascular diseases, necessitating ongoing efforts in research, treatment, and prevention.
