Cardiovascular disease is the world’s #1 cause of death. In fact, the World Health Organization estimates that more than 17.5 million people died of cardiovascular disease in 2005—roughly 30% of all deaths. It is expected to remain the world’s leading cause of death as the major causes—tobacco use, physical inactivity, and an unhealthy diet—see no signs of abating. In addition, expanding populations of older people worldwide will require more cardiovascular care.
