Age-Adjusted Death Rate due to Coronary Heart Disease

County: Washoe

Measurement Period: 2018-2020

Filter: none (all Counties)

This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to coronary heart disease.

Why is this important?

Coronary heart disease (also called coronary artery disease) occurs when the coronary arteries become narrowed or clogged by fat and cholesterol deposits (plaques) and cannot supply enough blood to the heart. As the arteries narrow, or as the plaques rupture, the flow of blood to the heart can slow or stop, causing chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, a heart attack, or other symptoms. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease, causing nearly 400,000 deaths per year and costing over $100 billion overall in health services, medication, and lost productivity.

The Healthy People 2030 national health target is to reduce coronary heart disease deaths to 71.1 deaths per 100,000 population.
