Abstract
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart diseases (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). CAD is
the leading cause of death globally, accounting for 21.9 % of total deaths,
and are projected to increase to 26.3 % by 2030 (American Heart
Association, 2010). CAD is the number one cause of death in the United
States (Abu-El-Haija, Ababneh and James, 2012). According to the
latest World Health Organization (WHO) data published in April 2011
CAD Deaths in Egypt reached 78,897 or 21.73% of total deaths. The age
adjusted Death Rate of CAD is 173.98 per 100,000 of population ranks
Egypt 33% of total CAD death in the world (WHO, 2011).
Coronary artery diseases affect more women than men and are
responsible for more than 40% of all deaths in American women. In the
United States alone, more than one half million women die of CAD each
year, exceeding the number of deaths in men. This translates into
approximately one death every minute. CAD is both the dominant health
problem and the major cause of mortality for women, claiming the lives of
nearly 500,000 women annually in the United States (National Center for
Health Statistics, 2006). In developing countries, half of all deaths of
women over age 50 are due to CAD and stroke (Jean, 2010). CAD is the
largest single cause of mortality among women, accounting for one-third
of all deaths in women worldwide (Mosca, Ferris, Fabunmi and
Robertson, 2004).
