According to projections from the American Heart Association, the total costs related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the United States are likely to triple by 2050. This increase is driven by an older and more diverse population, as well as a significant rise in risk factors such as high blood pressure and obesity. It is estimated that at least 6 in 10 U.S. adults will have some form of CVD within the next 30 years, resulting in a $1.8 trillion price tag in direct and indirect costs. While there have been improvements in healthy behaviors, there are concerns about increasing risk factors among younger populations and racial and ethnic disparities in CVD prevalence. The projected economic burden of CVD is substantial, with costs expected to nearly triple by 2050. However, interventions and efforts to reduce risk factors could potentially change this trajectory.
