US EditionGlobal Deaths, Disability From Heart Disease Continue to Rise Sharply
Nearly 80% of cardiovascular disease burden in 2023 was due to modifiable risk factors, with 19.2 million deaths marking a significant rise since 1990, researchers said.
- On September 24, 2025, the Global Burden of Disease Study published in JACC found cardiovascular diseases caused one in three global deaths, totaling 19.2 million in 2023.
- Researchers attributed the rise to population growth and population aging, while modifiable risk factors like high body mass index and high fasting plasma glucose are increasing, fueling the trend.
- Global DALY figures show that 437 million CVD DALYs were recorded in 2023, a 1.4-fold increase from 320 million in 1990, with ischemic heart disease affecting 240 million people and a 16-fold country disparity.
- JACC Editor-in-Chief Harlan Krumholz warned, `This report is a wake-up call: Heart disease remains the world's leading cause of death, and the burden is rising fastest in places least equipped to bear it,` urging action to save millions.
- With nearly 80% of CVD DALYs linked to modifiable risks, the report presented at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly urges national health agencies to act in the coming years.
