These findings are based on statistics, between 1990 and 2015. So, in 2015, the world was more than 400 million people suffer from cardiovascular disease, and nearly 18 million deaths from them. Between 1990 and 2010 the average mortality rate for this cause declined (due to the increase in the quality of care in countries with high income), however, in the last five years this progress has slowed.
