Coronary heart disease differences in Eastern versus Western Europe: a demanding situation
There are more than 4 million cardiovascular disease (CVD) related deaths each year in Europe, thus representing the main cause of deaths (47% of total: 52% of deaths in women and 42% in men). Notably, the main forms of CVD are coronary heart disease (CHD: about half of all CVD) and stroke (about 1/4 in men and 1/3 in women). If one considers geographic distribution of CVD deaths, CVD is the main cause of death for women in all countries of Europe for which we have mortality data and it is the main cause of death for men in all but 6 of these countries (exceptions are France, Israel, the Netherlands, San Marino, Slovenia and Spain).
