Heart Health Statistics

Heart disease still claims about 1 in 5 deaths in the U.S., with AHA estimating 805,000 deaths in 2021, even as modern treatments and systems push survival gains. From LDL lowering that cuts major vascular events by 24% per 1 mmol/L to real world resuscitation that reaches mid 40% ROSC rates by 2019–2020, these numbers show exactly where prevention, faster care, and proven therapies can change outcomes.
