Chinanews, Beijing, February 6 - Cardiovascular disease takes about 3 million lives in China every year, some 45% of the total deaths. Doubtlessly, the disease has become the top killer1 of adult Chinese.

 

A research conducted by Peking Union Medical College Hospital jointly2 with several American researchers, finds that the incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancer has leaped with the aging of the population. However, cardiovascular disease has started to haunt people in their 30s or 40s, too.
