1 Our vision is a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. UK Factsheet January 2022 Heart and Circulatory Diseases (Cardiovascular Disease; CVD) Heart and circulatory diseases is an umbrella term for all diseases of the heart and circulation. It includes everything from conditions that are inherited or that a person is born with, to those that develop later, such as coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, stroke and vascular dementia. There are around million people living with heart and circulatory diseases in the UK - an ageing and growing population and improved survival rates from heart and circulatory events could see these numbers rise still further.

2 Around 4 million males and million females are living with heart and circulatory diseases in the UK. We estimate that in the UK more than half of us will get a heart or circulatory condition in our lifetime. Around twice as many people are living with heart and circulatory diseases in the UK than with cancer and Alzheimer s disease combined. Heart and circulatory diseases cause around a quarter of all deaths in the UK; that's more than 160,000 deaths each year, or 460 each day that s one death every three minutes.

3 Around 47,000 people under the age of 75 in the UK die from heart and circulatory diseases each year. Since the BHF was established the annual number of deaths from heart and circulatory diseases in the UK has fallen by around a half. In 1961, more than half of all deaths in the UK were attributed to heart and circulatory diseases (320,000 deaths). Linked conditions Around 80 percent of people with heart and circulatory diseases have at least one other health condition Figure 1 Deaths from and numbers living with heart and circulatory diseases (CVD) Deaths - BHF analysis of latest official statistics (ONS/NISRA/NRS); UK total includes non-residents (ONS Nomis data); ICD-10 codes I00-99, F01,Q20-8, , P29, G45 Living with CVD estimates based on latest health surveys with CVD fieldwork and GP patient data.

4 Nation No. of People Dying from CVD (2020) No. of People Under 75 Years Old Dying from CVD (2020) Estimated Number of People Living with CVD (latest) England 137,152 37,353 million Scotland 17,448 5,148 700,000 Wales 9,340 2,762 340,000 Northern Ireland 4,102 1,179 225,000 UNITED KINGDOM (UK) 168,319 46,627 million + Death Rates Death rates take the age structure (demography) of local areas into account to reveal the real differences in statistics. This is very important when there are big variations in the age profile of communities across the UK.

5 Since 1961 the UK death rate from heart and circulatory diseases (CVD) has declined by more than three quarters. Death rates have fallen more quickly than the actual number of deaths because people in this country are now living longer. The premature (under 75) CVD death rate for Glasgow (134 per 100,000 people) is more than three times than that for Mid Sussex in South East England ( 39 per 100,000) Early deaths from heart and circulatory diseases (before the age of 75)

6 Are most common in the north of England, central Scotland and the south of Wales, and lowest in the south of England. Men All Women Figure 2 Death rates from heart and circulatory diseases (CVD), UK, 1969 to 2020 Top five UK premature heart & circulatory disease (CVD) death rates 2018-20 Local Authority Location Under 75 Death Rate per 100,000 People Under 75 Annual Number of CVD Deaths Glasgow City Scotland 606 Blackpool North West England 167 Manchester North West England 357 West Dunbartonshire Scotland 98 Sandwell West Midlands 276 _____ The Cost of Heart and Circulatory Diseases Healthcare costs relating to heart and circulatory diseases are estimated at 9 billion each year.

7 CVD s cost to the UK economy (including premature death, disability and informal costs) is estimated to be 19 billion each year. UK premature heart & circulatory disease (CVD) death rate by local authority 201 8-20 For more information please visit: Regional and local statistics Figure 3 Coronary Heart Disease (CHD; IHD; Ischaemic Heart Disease) Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of heart and circulatory disease. It occurs when coronary arteries become narrowed by a build-up of atheroma, a fatty material within their walls.

8 The pain or discomfort felt from such narrowing is called angina and if a blockage occurs it can cause a myocardial infarction (heart attack). Key Facts CHD is the one of the UK s leading causes of death and the most common cause of premature death. It was also the leading cause of death worldwide in 2019. CHD is responsible for around 64,000 deaths in the UK each year, an average of 175 people each day, or one death around every eight minutes.

9 In the UK, one in eight men and one in 15 women die from coronary heart disease. CHD kills twice as many women in the UK as breast cancer. Top 5 UK causes of death (2020) Figure 4 For the top 10 causes of deaths worldwide (2019), see our Global Factsheet Key Facts Around 24,000 people under the age of 75 in the UK die from CHD each year. CHD death rates are highest in Scotland and the north of England. Since the BHF was established the annual number of CHD deaths in the UK has fallen by more than half. There are million people in the UK living with CHD around million men and 830,000 women.

10 UK premature CHD death rate by local authority 201 8-20 Linked conditions People with coronary heart disease, or who have had a heart attack, are twice as likely to have a stroke. For more information please visit: Regional and local statistics Coronary Heart Disease Figure 5 Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction, MI) In the UK as many as 100,000 hospital admissions each year are due to heart attacks; that's 280 admissions each day or 1 every 5 minutes. In the 1960s more than 7 out of 10 heart attacks in the UK were fatal.
