The major leading cause of death is acquired heart disease which arose fivefold during three decades. In Easr Java, cardiac disease is the third leading cause of maternal death during 2012-2017 period which comprises from 6.7% on 2012 and increases to 22% on 2017. Data from Department of Medicine, and the Center for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Illinois at Chicago shows 28.1% of the cardiac-associated deaths are preventable.
