Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, responsible for almost 650,000 deaths each year. It is caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries that supply the heart, leading to heart attacks and other complications. While suicide and stroke are significant issues, they do not currently top the list in terms of annual fatalities. Congestive heart failure is also a serious condition but is often caused by underlying heart disease or other factors that contribute to coronary artery disease.
