Overview

As the population ages, ischemic heart disease is projected to be a major public health concern worldwide. Currently, more than 6.5 million of American suffers from chronic stable angina pectoris.

All forms of coronary heart disease are much less common in the Third World countries, as the risk factors for coronary artery disease are much more common in Western and Westernized countries. Chronic stable angina could therefore be considered to be one of several diseases of affluence.

Increases in smoking, obesity and other modifiable risk factors has led to recent increases in chronic stable angina pectoris prevalence and related diseases in countries such as China.
