Impact of Heart Disease

Media

social media can promote wellness and living a healthy life style to prevent heart disease

According to a 2015 study, this risk is real. A research team examined language expressed on Twitter and correlated it to county-level age-adjusted heart disease mortality rates

More than six decades of empirical research have shown that psychosocial risk factors like low socio-economic status, lack of social support, stress at work and family life, depression, anxiety, and hostility contribute both to the risk of developing coronary heart disease

Individual

Drugs

they are the biggest driver of prescription drug use

Obesity

they are the biggest leading cause of disability

Obesity is a major risk factor for stroke and heart disease.

About 1 in 12 (or 2.4 million) Canadian adults age 20 and over live with diagnosed heart disease;

Every hour, about 12 Canadian adults age 20 and over with diagnosed heart disease die.

Diabetes

person with diabetes, you have a higher risk of developing heart disease and stroke

Smoking

Smoking is one of the major risk factors related to the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Employment

For those who had a heart attack, the annual loss of income was $3,834 in 2012 Canadian dollars. For those who survived a witnessed cardiac arrest, the financial hit was $11,143. The biggest financial loss came to people who had a stroke. For them, the hit was $13,278.

the employment rate for those who had a heart attack dropped by five per cent. For those who survived cardiac arrest, the fall-off was nearly 13 per cent, and for those who had a stroke, it was just under 20 per cent.

Health Care System

Heart disease and stroke are the leading cause of hospitalization and the second leading cause of death in Canada

Heart disease are the second most costly for the Canadian health care system.

Cardiovascular disease alone is the most costly disease in Canada, total $21.2 billion in direct (medical) Stroke costs the Canadian economy $3.6 billion a year in physician services, hospital costs.

Given the growing epidemic of heart failure, its impact on our hospitals and health-care resources is only going to worsen. As it stands, heart failure is a leading cause of inpatient hospitalizations, with newly diagnosed patients spending over 26 days of hospital resources in their first year of treatment.

Family

African Americans were 30 percent more likely to die from heart disease

Genetic factors likely play some role in high blood pressure, heart disease, and other related conditions. However, it is also likely that people with a family history of heart disease share common environments and other factors that may increase their risk.

Heart disease is a family affair. When one member of a family gets sick, all the others must make adjustments and be prepared to learn new roles

needing personal care around the clock

The researchers found that family members under the age of 35 were up to 20 times more likely to suffer specific heart diseases than the rest of the population.

Economy

the costs of treating CVD-related conditions are significant.

CVD represents a major economic burden on health care systems.

Heart disease cost the Canadian economy more than $20.9 billion every year.

In Canada, 74,255 deaths (33% of all deaths) in 2003 were due to cardiovascular disease
