According to WHO, Heart disease and stroke kill some 17 million people a year, which is almost one-third of all deaths globally.

By 2020, heart disease and stroke will become the leading cause of both death and disability worldwide, with the number of fatalities projected to increase to over 20 million a year and by 2030 to over 24 million a year.

81,100,000 people in the United States have one or more forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD) according to American Heart Association.

More than 2.2 million Americans experience Atrial fibrillation each year, a type of cardiac arrhythmia that is associated with an increased risk for stroke.
