In 2023, the states with the highest death rates due to heart disease were Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Alabama. That year, there were around 251 deaths due to heart disease per 100,000 population in the state of Oklahoma. In comparison, the overall death rate from heart disease in the United States was 162 per 100,000 population. The leading cause of death in the United States Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for 22 percent of all deaths in 2023. That year, cancer was the second leading cause of death, followed by unintentional injuries and cerebrovascular diseases. In the United States, a person has a one in six chance of dying from heart disease. Death rates for heart disease are higher among men than women, but both have seen steady decreases in heart disease death rates since the 1950s. What are risk factors for heart disease? Although heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, the risk of heart disease can be decreased by avoiding known risk factors. Some of the leading preventable risk factors for heart disease include smoking, heavy alcohol use, physical inactivity, an unhealthy diet, and being overweight or obese. It is no surprise that the states with the highest rates of death from heart disease are also the states with the highest rates of heart disease risk factors. For example, Oklahoma, the state with the highest heart disease death rate, is also the state with the sixth-highest rate of obesity. Furthermore, Mississippi is the state with the highest levels of physical inactivity, and it has the second-highest heart disease death rate in the United States.

The number of deaths caused by heart disease has decreased in the United States from ***** per 100,000 population in 1990 to ***** deaths per 100,000 population in 2019. Nevertheless, heart disease is still the leading cause of death in the country, followed closely by cancer, which has a mortality rate of ***** per 100,000 people. Heart disease in the U.S.Diseases of the heart and blood vessels are often associated with atherosclerosis, which occurs when plaque builds up along arterial walls. This can limit the flow of blood and can lead to blood clots, a common cause of stroke or heart attacks. Other types of heart disease include arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythms) and heart valve problems. Many of these diseases can be treated with medication, although many complications will still remain. One of the leading cholesterol lowering drugs in the United States, Crestor, generated around **** billion U.S. dollars of revenue in 2024. Risk Factors for heart disease There are many risk factors associated with the development of heart disease, including family history, ethnicity, and age. However, there are other factors that can be modified through lifestyle changes such as physical inactivity, smoking, and unhealthy diets. Obesity has also been commonly associated with risk factors like hypertension and diabetes type II. In the United States, some ** percent of white adults are currently obese.

How to use the dataset

This dataset includes the number of death due to heart disease in Oklahoma. It provides a single, comprehensive data set that captures detailed information on the historical prevalence of heart disease death rates in the state. This dataset can be used for various research or analytical purposes such as epidemiological studies or health services planning.

To use this dataset, one must first understand that it contains three main pieces: the year of reported deaths, the actual number of deaths related to heart disease during each year and a target total for expected deaths from heart disease per year, which are used as reference points when analyzing other years. The years column includes all relevant dates while historical data column provides more specifics such as exact numbers and percentages related to those who perished due to heart-related conditions.

By utilizing this data set users can easily find out how many persons died due to cardiac-related diseases along with what risks were most prevalent at certain times over that period by comparing provided figures with reference targets at any given time slice in question (time point). Additionally, one can observe trends carefully within different groups such as males versus females or rural versus urban locations thus allowing them more robust insight into factors associated with mortality from cardiac conditions across different demographics

Research Ideas

• Identifying which geographic areas in Oklahoma are at highest risk for heart disease and creating targeted public health initiatives to reduce its incidence.
• Determining correlations between changes in vital health indicators (e.g., increase of physical activity) with changes in heart disease death rates to better inform policy and research direction.
• Analyzing overall mortality rates compared to other counties or states with comparable demographics to assess the effectiveness of existing public health interventions over time

Years of life lost due to mortality from coronary heart disease (ICD-10 I20-I25). Years of life lost (YLL) is a measure of premature mortality. Its primary purpose is to compare the relative importance of different causes of premature death within a particular population and it can therefore be used by health planners to define priorities for the prevention of such deaths. It can also be used to compare the premature mortality experience of different populations for a particular cause of death. The concept of years of life lost is to estimate the length of time a person would have lived had they not died prematurely. By inherently including the age at which the death occurs, rather than just the fact of its occurrence, the calculation is an attempt to better quantify the burden, or impact, on society from the specified cause of mortality.

In 2022, the mortality rate of coronary heart disease in the United Kingdom was *** deaths per 100,000 population, which was one of the lowest rates in the provided time interval. The mortality rate in 2000 was *** per 100,000, meaning the mortality rate has decreased by over ** percent since then. Decline in CVD mortality Alongside the fall in mortality rate from coronary heart disease, deaths overall from cardiovascular diseases have fallen since the start of the century. In 2022, there were *** deaths per 100,000 from cardiovascular diseases in the UK, a decline of about ** percent since 2000. Furthermore, mortality from strokes has decreased by almost ** percent between 2000 and 2022. Incidence of CVD staying at similar levels The decline in the mortality of cardiovascular diseases shows the advances of modern medicine, as the incidence of these diseases has not varied much in the past few years. In 2022/23, around *** thousand people in the UK were diagnosed with coronary heart disease, a fall of ** thousand since 2012. However, *** thousand individuals were diagnosed with a stroke, an increase of over ** thousand when compared with 2012.

This dataset documents rates and trends in heart disease and stroke mortality. Specifically, this report presents county (or county equivalent) estimates of heart disease and stroke death rates in 2000-2019 and trends during two intervals (2000-2010, 2010-2019) by age group (ages 35–64 years, ages 65 years and older), race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native, non-Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islander, non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, non-Hispanic White), and sex (women, men). The rates and trends were estimated using a Bayesian spatiotemporal model and a smoothed over space, time, and demographic group. Rates are age-standardized in 10-year age groups using the 2010 US population. Data source: National Vital Statistics System.

In 2023, around *** out of 100,000 Canadians died from major cardiovascular diseases. In 2000, the death rate stood at over *** deaths per 100,000. This statistic displays the age-standardized death rate for major cardiovascular diseases in Canada from 2000 to 2023. Cardiovascular health Cardiovascular health and disease has come to the forefront of healthcare in recent years, as the burden due to these diseases and related conditions has increased over time in an aging population. Public health strategies are focused on reducing the impact of cardiovascular conditions through education and interventions targeted at decreasing the modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases- many of which involve lifestyle and diet elements. Medical interventions for cardiovascular disease can range from emergency interventions to surgical procedures to pharmacological treatments: in Canada, medications for the cardiovascular system held over *** percent of the sales share for patented drugs in 2021. Causes of death in Canada Worldwide, Canada ranks in the top twenty countries for life expectancy and is well above the OECD average, with the average life expectancy higher for Canadian women than for men. Much like in other developed countries, malignant neoplasms join cardiovascular diseases in the leading causes of death in Canada; other main causes of death in the country include accidents, cerebrovascular diseases, and chronic lower respiratory diseases. Over the past couple decades, the age-standardized death rate for all causes among Canada’s population has increased; in 2023, it reached nearly *** per 100,000 population.

It was estimated that in the fiscal year 2022-2023, there were 132,940 deaths in Canada from ischemic heart disease among those aged 20 years and older. Furthermore, there were 51,365 deaths from acute myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack. This statistic shows the number of deaths in Canada attributable to ischemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction from 2000-2023.

In 2022, Arkansas had the highest rate of death due to coronary heart disease of any U.S. state, with a rate of around *** deaths per 100,000. This statistic shows death rates for coronary heart disease in the United States in 2022, by state.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number 1 cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year, which accounts for 31% of all deaths worlwide. Heart failure is a common event caused by CVDs and this dataset contains 12 features that can be used to predict mortality by heart failure. Most cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by addressing behavioural risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet and obesity, physical inactivity and harmful use of alcohol using population-wide strategies. People with cardiovascular disease or who are at high cardiovascular risk (due to the presence of one or more risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia or already established disease) need early detection and management wherein a machine learning model can be of great help.
