Cardiovascular disease

An estimated 17.9 million people worldwide die of heart disease (also called coronary artery disease) every year, accounting for nearly one third of all global deaths.1 Heart diseases remain a leading cause of death, affecting more men than women.2 For those who survive, it may often be the start of a journey into declining cardiovascular health. This underlines the importance of rehabilitation and patient support, especially since up to 20% who had a myocardial infarction (MI) – a heart attack – go on to have a subsequent MI, stroke or cardiovascular death within the first year.3
