- Mortality - 445,687 deaths in the United States in 2005 (about one of every five deaths).
- Incidence - 1,260,000 new and recurrent coronary attacks per year. (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Atherosclerotic Risk in Communities [ARIC] Study and Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS). About 37 percent of people who experience a coronary attack in a given year die from it.
- Prevalence - 16,800,000 victims of angina (chest pain due to coronary Heart disease), heart attack and other forms of coronary heart disease are still living (8,700,000 males and 8,100,000 females).
