1 Cardiovascular Disease in Women Module I: Epidemiology

2 Module I: Epidemiology  Statistics on Women and Cardiovascular Disease  Comparisons to Men  Age Differences Among Women  Racial and Ethnic Group Differences

3 CVD and Other Major Causes of Death for Women in the United States: 2004 Source: Adapted from American Heart Association 2008

4 Congestive Heart Failure: Gender Differences  Compared to men, women with heart failure are:  Older  More likely to have hypertension  More likely to have diabetes  More likely to have diastolic dysfunction   Knowledge of diastolic dysfunction prognosis and treatment is limited  Trials of congestive heart failure treatments have included mainly men Source: Stromberg 2003

5 Cardiovascular Disease Mortality: U.S. Males and Females 1980-2004 Source: Adapted from American Heart Association 2008

6 Annual Numbers of U.S. Adults Diagnosed with Myocardial Infarction and Fatal CHD by Age and Sex Categories: 1987-2004 Source: Adapted from American Heart Association 2008 Age in Years

7 Acute MI Mortality by Age and Sex Source: Adapted from Vaccarino 1999

8 Racial and Ethnic Groups  Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and American Indians  African American women are at the highest risk for death from heart disease among all racial, ethnic, and gender groups Source: American Heart Association 2004

10 African Americans  African American women are at highest risk for death from heart disease among all race, ethnic, and gender groups  African Americans with established CHD are at high risk for cardiac death  The risk of death and morbidity from CHD attributable to HTN is higher in African Americans Sources: American Heart Association 2004, Mosca 2004, ATP III 2002, American Heart Association 2008
