The links on the right go to evidence based areas covering risk factors for atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Please note that "In Depth" pages take over 30 seconds to download at 28.8. Also see Obesity. The main forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD) resulting from atherosclerosis are coronary heart disease and strokes. CVD causes 235,000 deaths each year; 50% from coronary artery disease and 25% from strokes. CVD is responsible for a third of the premature deaths in men and a quarter in women. It kills 50,000 more women each year than all forms of cancer. |
