Counties with the highest heart disease rates in New York

Heart disease has been the #1 cause of death in the United States since 1950.

Lifestyle and genetics are major factors determining the likelihood of coronary heart disease; treatments range from lifestyle changes to surgery. American men in the last decade were twice as likely to die from heart disease than women, according to CDC data.
