7 As the Middle Eastern countries have younger populations, lower CAD rates are expected; however, CAD mortality is following an increasing trend, accounting for nearly 25% to 45% of all deaths. 6 American health-care providers estimate that 71 million adults have at least 1 CVD, which accounts for 12 million cases of CAD and 5 million cases of heart failure. 5 Furthermore, as a previous study indicated, CAD was the most prevalent diagnosis in emergency departments. 11 Direct and indirect costs of CAD approximate to $3000 per patient each year in the United States of America. 12 Nonetheless, not many population-based surveys have been conducted in the Middle East countries regarding this issue.
