Overview
Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of sudden death[1], and is also the most common reason for death of men and women over 20 years of age. According to present trends in the United States, half of healthy 40-year-old males will develop CHD in the future, and one in three healthy 40-year-old women.[2] According to the Guinness Book of Records, Northern Ireland is the country with the most occurrences of CHD.
