 Cardiovascular disease affects the heart and circulatory system. It is often a result of blockages of blood vessels.  Some examples of Heart Disease are: ◦ Coronary Artery Disease* ◦ Heart Attack* ◦ Stroke* ◦ Rheumatic Heart Disease ◦ Congenital Defects

 The American Heart Association has seven different measurements to determine cardiovascular health.  There are four health behaviors: smoking, physical activity, healthy diet and energy balance demonstrated by healthy weight. ◦ There are three health factors: BP, blood glucose and blood cholesterol.

 It is harder to pinpoint actually onset disease, but continuous monitoring can provide an estimate.  Often used to indicate first stroke or heart attack suffered.

 In 2008, 17.3 million people died as a result of CVD (WHO). ◦ 30% of global deaths ◦ 80% of all CVD deaths occur in low and middle income countries  In the US, heart disease was the leading cause of death in 2008 (NHLBI).  In 2007, heart disease accounted for deaths per 100,000 (out of per 100,000) in the US ◦ Strokes accounted for 42.2 deaths per 100,000.

 Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death globally.  WHO estimates that almost 25 million will die from CVDs by 2030 (mostly heart attack and stroke).  7.5 million deaths each year (13% of all deaths) can be attributed to high blood pressure including 51% of stroke deaths and 47% due to coronary heart disease)

 Overall US death rate attributable to CVD declined by 37% from 1999 to (AHA) ◦ It still accounts for 32.3% of all deaths.  In 2009, 34% of deaths attributable to CVD occurred before age 75 ◦ 20% of these (6.8% of total) occur before age 40.

 Risk of CVD is increased by high blood pressure, poor diet, lack of exercise, and high cholesterol among other triggers. ◦ Early warning signs of heart attack and stroke are also not recognized by most of the population  People with diabetes are 2-4 times more likely to die from heart disease or suffer a stroke.  Having a heart attack or stroke increases the chances of a second one.  Genetics

 Coronary Heart Disease alone costs the United States about $108.9 billion a year.  Stroke costs $54 billion a year.  There are additional costs associated with the long term disability and therapy to recover from stroke.

 Prevention ◦ Activity, diet, weight loss, lower alcohol and tobacco use  Drug therapies ◦ Thrombolytics, aspirin  Surgical interventions  Some consequences of stroke or heart attack cannot be treated.

 Sponsored by National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and Boston University  Started in 1948  Initially recruited 5209 adults aged ◦ Had not demonstrated symptoms of CVD  Has continually monitored participants since then and added new cohorts.  Determined many of the risk factors for CVD

 Long term outcomes of heart attack and stroke  Efficacy window for thrombolytics  Prevention of disease  Improved treatments and detection  Familial risk  oke&Search=Search oke&Search=Search  rt+attack+prevention&Search=Search rt+attack+prevention&Search=Search

 The American Heart Association’s major impact goal: ◦ By 2020, to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20%, while reducing deaths from CVDs and strokes by 20%. ◦ This will be measured using the seven risk measurements used to determine cardiovascular health. ◦ Healthy People 2020:Improve cardiovascular health and quality of life through prevention, detection, and treatment of risk factors for heart attack and stroke; early identification and treatment of heart attacks and strokes; and prevention of repeat cardiovascular events
