Advertisement
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) continue to be the top global killer, responsible for one in every three deaths in 2023, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). The number of deaths due to CVD skyrocketed to 19.2 million in 2023, up from 13.1 million in 1990, driven by population growth, ageing, and rising rates of obesity and diabetes. Ischemic heart disease and stroke affect millions worldwide, with men facing higher risks than women, especially after age 50.
