In 2020, heart disease accounted for 20.6 percent of deaths in the U.S., and about 6.1 percent of annual healthcare expenditures for adults in the civilian noninstitutionalized population were for the treatment of heart disease. This Statistical Brief examines the receipt of any treatment for heart disease by selected characteristics of the population, presents healthcare expenditures on heart disease by type of medical service, and examines the share of expenses by service categories and sources of payment among adults in the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population based on the 2020 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey-Household Component (MEPS-HC). |
