Cardiovascular Information
Cardiovascular disease—including heart disease and stroke—is the leading cause of death in the United States. Every day, 2,200 people die from cardiovascular disease—that's 815,000 Americans each year, or 1 in every 3 deaths.
FDA-regulated medications and devices are among the most common methods used to manage cardiovascular disease. FDA is committed to getting accurate, science-based information in the hands of people affected by cardiovascular disease so they can use medicines, devices and foods to maintain and improve their health.
