There is considerable variation in mortality from CHD across the UK.

Heart and circulatory disease is the UK's biggest killer.  In 2002, cardiovascular disease (CVD) caused 39% of deaths in the UK, and killed just under 238,000 people.
Coronary heart disease, the main from of CVD, causes over 117,000 deaths a year in the UK: approximately one in five deaths in men and one in six deaths in women.
Death rates for CHD have been falling rapidly in the UK since the late 1970s. Despite this, death rates from CHD in the UK are still amongst the highest in Western Europe.
There is considerable variation in mortality from CHD across the UK. Death rates are higher in Scotland than the South of England, in manual workers than in non-manual workers and in certain ethnic groups.
