Leading Causes of Death in High Income Countries  Heart disease Deaths in 2017: 647,457 Percentage of total deaths: 23.5% Medical professionals use the term heart disease to describe several conditions. Many of these conditions relate to the buildup of plaque in the walls of the arteries. As the plaque develops, the arteries narrow.
