Overview
As the population ages, ischemic heart disease is projected to be a major public health concern worldwide. Currently, more than 6.5 million Americans suffer from chronic stable angina pectoris. Stable angina is the initial manifestation of ischemic heart disease in approximately 50% of these patients. Ischemic heart disease remains the single leading cause of death in United States. In Europe, CAD accounts for 49% of all deaths.
All forms of coronary heart disease are much less common in developing countries as the risk factors for coronary artery disease are much less common in these countries. Consequently, chronic stable angina could be considered as one of the several diseases of affluence. Increases in smoking, obesity and other modifiable risk factors has led to recent increases in the prevalence of chronic stable angina pectoris and related diseases in countries such as China.
