Looking at cardiovascular statistics can provide a snapshot into a world of heart and artery disease.
Cardiovascular statistics often times can be fun and interesting not allowing us to get bogged down in a long winded oratory creation so boring that it could be used as a cure for insomnia.
In this article I have tried to compile a list of 20 of the most interesting cardiovascular statistics which I hope you will enjoy reading.
Cardiovascular statistics and snapshots *Your heart beats 100,000 times per day pumping from 2,500 to 5,000 gallons of blood *By age 80 your heart will have lost almost half of its pumping power *About half of all heart attack deaths are women *Over 27% of people who die from coronary heart disease are under the age of 65 *47% of sudden cardiac deaths occur outside the hospital *The most common heart disease risk factor is inactivity (39.
5%) *Only one in four Americans are able to name all the major symptoms of a heart attack.
*Four out of every ten Americans have 2 or more heart attack risk factors (inactivity, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, high blood pressure, cigarette smoking) *According to the Center for Disease Control across the United States fewer people will die from a heart attack in the state of Minnesota than anywhere else *Smokers are up to 4 times more likely to develop coronary heart disease than non smokers *If you smoke, suffer from high blood pressure, and have a cholesterol reading above 200 milligrams for each deciliter of blood, your risk of a heart attack increases by 720% *If your cholesterol reading is over 200 milligrams for each deciliter of blood and you smoke your risk of heart attack is increased by 350% *75% of people with diabetes will die of some form of heart or blood vessel disease *The average age for a first heart attack is 66 *While the number of heart attacks has been declining in recent years one still occurs every 35 seconds in the United States *A recent study linked the very popular cholesterol reduction and heart disease prevention prescription medication category of statins to an increased risk of diabetes *Heart disease has dropped to second just behind cancer as the leading cause of death worldwide.
While the numbers are declining in the United States they are on the rise in Asia.
*A ratio of greater than 2.
5 to 1 between bad cholesterol (LDL) and good cholesterol (HDL) has been linked to an increased risk of a cardiovascular event or stroke.
*The American Heart Association recommends daily doctor monitored exercise lasting for at least 30 minutes as a preventative tool to promote cardiovascular health and promote heart healthy cholesterol levels.
*Currently over half of all Americans use a natural cholesterol reduction supplement or natural supplementation such as omega 3 fish oil to prevent heart and artery disease.
