Heart disease and stroke—the principal components
of cardiovascular disease—are the first and third leading causes
of death in the United States, accounting for more than 40% of all deaths.
About 950,000 Americans die of cardiovascular disease each year, which

half of all cardiovascular disease deaths each year occur among women.
