Cardiovascular disease mortality has declined in many countries over the past decades.

For example, US cardiovascular disease death rates have declined 4x since 1950.

Thank you for making the leap over here. You often make my day. Celeste, 51, Berkeley, works part time counting dead people by US county, part time as a free improv vocalist known to sometimes play two plastic recorders, one out of each nostril.
