This indicator shows the number of admissions for heart disease per 10,000 population in an area.
Why is this important?
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, causing about 1 in 4 deaths. The term “heart disease” refers to several types of heart conditions. In the United States, the most common type of heart disease is coronary artery disease (CAD), which affects the blood flow to the heart. Decreased blood flow can cause a heart attack. You can greatly reduce your risk for heart disease through lifestyle changes and, in some cases, medicine.
