>Heart disease impacts about 200 per 100,000 people in the US.

Where has that number come from? The CDC sates:

"About 20.1 million adults age 20 and older have [Coronary artery disease] (about 7.2%)."

Which would be 7,200 per 100,000...

>About 697,000 people in the United States died from heart disease in 2020—that’s 1 in every 5 deaths.

deaths per total population vs deaths per total deaths.

Also, A. deaths from "heart disease" includes more than just heart attacks.
B. 2020, 21, 22 are outliers. a LOT of heart attacks and circulatory issues related to Covid. Since its a heart attack, they lump it in, but I personally wouldn't unless they had previous heart disease.
