Mortality
Deaths
from heart and circulatory disease are falling but it remains the
UK's biggest killer.
In 2009, over 180,000
people died
from cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the UK -
one
in three of all deaths.
In 2009, around
one in five
male deaths and
one in eight
female deaths were from coronary heart disease (CHD) - a total
of around 82,000 deaths. Stroke caused over 49,000 deaths in the
UK.
CVD is one of the main causes of death in people under 75 in
the UK. 28 per cent of
premature
deaths in men and almost 20 per cent of
premature
deaths in women were from CVD in 2009. In 2009 over 45,000
people under 75 died from CVD.
CHD, by itself, is the most common cause of death in the
under 75s in the UK. 17 per cent of premature deaths in
men and 8 per cent of premature deaths in women were from
CHD, which caused over 25,000 premature deaths in the UK in
2009.
