Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease causes 18-19 million deaths per year globally.

“ASCVD is the number one killer in the developed world.”

“why atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide for both men and women.”

“What I tell my patients is that both in the United States and globally ascvd is the leading cause of death in fact I was surprised somewhat recently like in the last year to realize how much bigger the Gap is between ascvd and cancer globally than in the U.S it's number one in both but you know when you look at the entire world I believe it's about 18 and a half to 19 million deaths attributed to ascvd versus about 10 or 11 million to cancer it's almost 2x Delta and when you take”

“it is the leading cause of death globally I've I don't think you can State the stats enough right I mean the last time I looked 19 million people died in the world due to ascvd and the second place killer was cancer at something like 12 to 13 million so it's not even close”

“I mean it's you know in fact when you talk about it globally the gap between asbd and cancer is even bigger it's like 19 million people annually to 12 or 13 million for cancer I mean it's an enormous difference”
