Heart Disease affects many people and families in Canada. The data below is from the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation...

Every 7 minutes in Canada, someone dies from heart disease or stroke.

Heart disease and stroke are two of the three leading causes of death in Canada. These statistics are based on 2008 data (the latest year available from Statistics Canada).¹

In 2008 cardiovascular disease accounted for:

• 29% of all deaths in Canada (69,648 deaths – or more than 69,500)
• 28% of all male deaths
• 29.7% of all female deaths

In 2008, of all cardiovascular deaths:

• 54% were due to ischemic heart disease
• 20% to stroke
• 23% to heart attack

The United States also show simliar trends with regards to the effect of heart disease on their population.  The link below is from the Amercian Heart and Stroke Foundation and outlines important factors leading to disease.
