Deaths attributable to cardiovascular disease (United States: 2010). Percentage breakdown of deaths attributable to cardiovascular disease (United States: 2010). Total may not add to 100 because of rounding. Coronary heart disease includes International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes I20 to I25; stroke, I60 to I69; heart failure, I50; high blood pressure, I10 to I15; diseases of the arteries, I70 to I78; and other, all remaining ICD-I0 I categories. *Not a true underlying cause. With any-mention deaths, heart failure accounts for 35% of cardiovascular disease deaths.

Deaths attributable to diseases of the heart (United States: 1900–2010). Deaths attributable to diseases of the heart (United States: 1900–2010). See Glossary (Chapter 26) for an explanation of “diseases of the heart.” Note: In the years 1900 to 1920, the International Classification of Diseases codes were 77 to 80; for 1925, 87 to 90; for 1930 to 1945, 90 to 95; for 1950 to 1960, 402 to 404 and 410 to 443; for 1965, 402 to 404 and 410 to 443; for 1970 to 1975, 390 to 398 and 404 to 429; for 1980 to 1995, 390 to 398, 402, and 404 to 429; and for 2000 to 2009, I00 to I09, I11, I13, and I20 to I51. Before 1933, data are for a death registration area and not the entire United States. In 1900, only 10 states were in the death registration area, and this increased over the years, so part of the increase in numbers of deaths is attributable to an increase in the number of states.

CAD is a diffuse process with focal atherosclerotic material (plaque). Some plaques are obstructive but not thrombotic. Others are potentially thrombotic but not obstructive. Myocardial Infartion= Death of myocardial cells. Clinical MI = symptoms, ECG and Biomarkers

Exercise Testing I IIa IIb III In patients entering a formal cardiac rehabilitation program after PCI, treadmill exercise testing is reasonable. Routine, periodic stress testing of asymptomatic patients after PCI without specific clinical indications should not be performed. I IIa IIb III No Benefit 37
