SURVIVAL AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCT

科珀斯克里斯蒂心脏项目是一个正在进行的人口为基础的 住院心肌梗死（MI）的监测计划， Nueces两族社区的冠心病死亡率 德克萨斯州，县。 在这次续期申请中，我们建议继续 确定住院MI和CHD死亡率以及血管成形术， 分流手术在墨西哥裔美国人和非西班牙裔白人。 我们将 计算住院MI的发生率，用于心脏 血运重建和MI后死亡率以及两种全因死亡率 和冠心病死亡率。 我们还将描述这些趋势 在八年的时间里， 存在差异。 这种成功监视的延续 该计划将提供一个独特的机会，以促进该领域的 心血管流行病学

The Corpus Christi Heart Project is an ongoing population-based surveillance program for hospitalized myocardial infarction (MI) and coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality in the biethnic community of Nueces County, Texas. In this renewal application, we propose to continue to identify hospitalized MI and CHD mortality as well as angioplasty, and bypass surgery among Mexican-Americans and non-Hispanic Whites. We will calculate incidence rates for hospitalized MI, for the use of cardiac revascularization, and rates for post-MI mortality, and for both all cause and CHD mortality in the community. We will also describe trends in these aspects of CHD over an eight year period and determine if ethnic differences exist. The continuation of this successful surveillance program will provide a unique opportunity to contribute to the field of cardiovascular epidemiology.
