Mortality From Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) rates are higher in low- and middle-income countries (such as India and China) than in high-income countries (eg, the United States), with a significant surge in CVD rates in developing countries over the past 2 decades relative to the United States (data from Global Burden of Disease 20199).
