This State Has The Worst Heart Health In America According To Data

With poor heart health being such a serious problem in the U.S., we wanted to see where exactly the condition runs most rampant. To do this, we used the CDC and NIH data on the number of residents in each state who have coronary heart disease and population data from the U.S. Census Bureau to calculate cases of coronary heart disease per capita (or, per 100,000 residents in each state). We included both figures below, but ranked the states based on the per capita rate in each state.
