Coronary heart disease is not only the single most common cause of death in the UK; it is also very costly, imposing a huge annual burden on UK economy. 

The costs of healthcare alone are over £1.7 billion a year.  However, the majority of the costs of CHD fall outside the healthcare and are due to illness and death in those of working age and the economic effects of their families and friends who care for them.
