Heart and Stroke Statistics

Each year, the American Heart Association, in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health and other government agencies, compiles up-to-date statistics on heart disease, stroke and other vascular diseases in the Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update. This is a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, healthcare policy makers, media professionals, the public, 还有一些人寻求关于疾病发病率的最佳国家数据, mortality, and risks; quality of care; medical procedures and operations; and costs associated with the management of these diseases. 心脏病和中风统计更新是监测人群心血管健康和疾病的主要来源.

Heart & Stroke Statistics FAQs

What is Prevalence?

Prevalence is an estimate of how many people have a specific disease, condition, or risk factor at a given point in time. Government agencies periodically conduct health examination surveys. Rates for specific diseases are calculated from those surveys. These rates are applied as the population changes for several years, until a new health examination survey is done, and new rates are established. 重要的是要认识到，在进行新的调查之前，患病率不会逐年变化. The annual changes in prevalence as reported in Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Update only reflect changes in the population. 通过比较年度出版物或其前身的数字，不可能得出流行的“趋势”.

What is Incidence?

发病率是对某一特定时期内人群中新发疾病病例数量的估计. For some diseases, new and recurrent attacks or cases are combined. 在美国，心血管疾病的发病率是通过乘以社区或医院研究报告的发病率来估计的.S. population. The rates are not computed annually; they change only when new data are available. The estimates were revised to reflect the 2000 U.S. Census. 发病率和比率都不应与过去几期的发病率和比率进行比较 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Update.

What is Mortality?

死亡率数据是评估心血管疾病和中风影响的最准确数据. 这些数据是根据死亡证明编制的，并由州卫生机构发送给国家卫生统计中心. There the information is verified and tabulated by cause of death, age, sex, and race/ethnicity, for the United States and each state. This process is time-consuming. 这就是为什么在死亡率统计中发现了大约两年的延迟 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Update. Because mortality is considered “hard” data, 可以进行线上电子游戏飞禽走兽趋势分析并计算随线上电子游戏飞禽走兽变化的百分比.

What are Death Rates?

A death rate is a ratio between mortality and population. National death rates are computed per 100,000 population. 死亡率除以人口数得到粗死亡率. 在汇总随线上电子游戏飞禽走兽或人群的死亡率时，我们计算年龄调整后的死亡率. 这些消除了人口年龄分布随线上电子游戏飞禽走兽和人口群体之间差异的影响. The year 2000 is the standard year used for age-adjustment.

What about race and Hispanic origin?

Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on death certificates. 这意味着每个种族的死亡率数据可以包括西班牙裔人, and mortality data for Hispanic origin can include persons of any race. In Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Update, unless otherwise specified, deaths of Hispanic origin are included in the totals for whites, blacks, American Indians/Alaska Natives and Asian/Pacific Islanders. 西班牙裔人口的数据包括任何种族的所有西班牙裔人口. Data in Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Update 是由政府机构报告的还是由特定的流行病学研究报告的. In many cases, data for Hispanics are not available. 墨西哥裔美国人的数据更有可能被报道，因为更难找到所有西班牙裔美国人的数据.

What are "Major CVD" and "Total CVD"?

“主要心血管疾病”通常由NCHS报告，代表ICD代码I00-I78. “心血管疾病总数”包括所有“循环系统疾病”代码(I00-I99). When data are available, 我们将先天性心血管缺陷代码(Q20-Q28)添加到“总心血管疾病”中.”

What are "Diseases of the Heart"?

美国国家卫生统计中心将“心脏疾病”的死亡率制成表格."这个词通常用于统计出版物和主要死亡原因汇编. 这类疾病包含与“心脏”相关的词汇，包括:

Acute Rheumatic Fever/Chronic Rheumatic Heart Diseases (I00-I09)
高血压心脏病(I11)和高血压心脏和肾脏疾病(I13)
Coronary Heart Disease (I20-I25)
Other Heart Diseases (I26-I51) – includes heart failure

“心脏疾病”并不等同于“总心血管疾病”,美国心脏协会更喜欢用这个词来描述导致死亡的主要原因. “心脏疾病”约占“心血管疾病总死亡率”的四分之三.
