"61% of U.S. Adults Predicted to Have Cardiovascular Disease by 2050"

A report by the American Heart Association projects that 61% of U.S. adults will have some form of cardiovascular disease by 2050, driven largely by an increase in hypertension. The prevalence of stroke, coronary heart disease, and heart failure is also expected to rise, with significant disparities among racial and ethnic groups due to factors like systemic racism and socioeconomic status.
