In 2008, CVD was the cause of death in 419,730 females. females represent 51.7% of deaths from CVD. In the us in 2008, all CVDs combined claimed the lives of 419,730 females while all forms of cancer combined killed 270,210 females. breast cancer claimed the lives of 40,589 females; lung cancer claimed 70,070. The 2008 death rate from CVD was 244.8. death rates were 200.5 for white females and 277.4 for black females.
