PURPOSE: To compare the mortality, incidence and case fatality rate from cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, among normal weight and overweight participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) I Epidemiologic Follow-up Study (...
heart disease, and ischemic heart disease. However, confidence limits around the mortality rate changes for subjects with diabetes were large and the magnitude of the changes could not be determined precisely. In contrast, there were large and statistically significant declines in mortality for adults...
Heart disease is not only the leading cause of death in the U.S. but also the main contributor to racial disparities in life expectancy. Despite this, heart disease mortality rates and racial disparities in these rates are not readily available at the city level where they can be the most ...
1 Diabetic women are at particularly high risk of CHD2; diabetes eliminates the usual female advantage for coronary disease mortality. Women with type 2 diabetes, compared with age-matched nondiabetic women, have a 5- to 7-fold higher rate of CHD death, with an event rate similar to that ...
The substantial decrease in coronary heart disease deaths after the mid-1960s is best explained by the decreased incidence, and case fatality rate, of acute myocardial infarction and a decrease in out-of-hospital sudden coronary heart disease deaths. These decreases are very likely explained by a...
In the end, they found that people with major depression were at least three times as likely to die of heart disease as were patients who weren’t depressed. Even subjects with mild depression experienced a fatality rate that was 50 percent higher than normal. Brenda Penninx isn’t sure exa...
Early identification of heart disease of improved diagnosis and high-risk individuals using a prediction model can be recommended generally for fatality rate reduction, and decision-making is improved for further treatment and prevention. In CDSS, a prediction model is implemented and utilized to suppor...
cases of heart disease were reported in terms of "incidence"; however as most of the cardiac lesions likely predated pregnancy, we felt this term to be imprecise. We have also reported death rates as case-fatality in spite of the fact that papers tended to use the term "maternal mortality...
Hypertensive heart disease (HHD), a widely prevalent and often silent condition, is a substantial contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the incidence, fatality rate, and long-term effects of HHD across various demographics from 1990 to 2019...
Findings Ischemic heart disease and hypertension were the most common causes of heart failure. Half of patients with reduced ejection fraction received combined guideline-directed medications, with the lowest use in lower–middle-income and low-income countries. Mortality rates were more than 2-f...
