Men's Heart Disease Atlas: Section 3

Total Population per Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)—Specialty Physician, 1990


A map depicts county-level geographic disparities in the total population per cardiovascular disease (CVD) specialty physician in 1990. In 1990, 70% of the counties in the United States had no CVD specialty physicians. Metropolitan counties were more likely to have favorable population to CVD specialty physician ratios than non-metropolitan counties. In the counties where CVD physicians were found, the population per CVD physician ranged from 932 to 205,000. For more details, refer to page 56.
