Although mortality from Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) in the UK is declining, it continues to be the most common cause of death. More than one in five men and one in six women die from the disease. Both morbidity and mortality vary geographically, with higher rates in the North of the UK compared to the South. There are also socio-economic and ethnic differences, with higher rates of CHD in manual workers compared to non-manual workers and higher rates in South Asians compared to the population as a whole.
