Maps of Heart
Disease and
Stroke Mortality Among Women and Men
The interactive maps
present heart disease and stroke mortality rates, county–by–county, for
the state, racial/ethnic group, and gender of your choice. These maps
provide valuable information for health professionals and concerned
citizens at the local, state, and national levels to identify the
communities of women and men with the greatest burden of heart disease and
to design heart disease prevention programs and policies tailored to the
needs of those communities. These maps were developed through a
collaboration between CDC and researchers at West Virginia University and
the University of South Florida, and are part of
three documents entitled The
Atlas of Stroke Mortality: Racial, Ethnic and Geographic Disparities
in the United States;
Women and Heart
Disease: An Atlas of Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Mortality and
Men and Heart Disease: An Atlas of Racial and Ethnic Disparities in
Mortality.
