SURVIVAL AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCT

科珀斯·克里斯蒂心脏项目是一个持续的以人口为基础的项目 住院心肌梗死(MI)和 Nueces两民族社区的冠心病(CHD)死亡率 德克萨斯州的县。在是次续期申请中，我们建议继续 确定住院的心肌梗塞和冠心病死亡率以及血管成形术，以及 墨西哥裔美国人和非西班牙裔白人的搭桥手术。我们会 计算住院心肌梗死的发生率，使用心脏 血运重建和心肌梗死后死亡率，以及这两种原因 和社区的冠心病死亡率。我们还将描述这些方面的趋势 八年期间冠心病的各个方面，并确定是否有种族 分歧是存在的。这一成功监视的继续 计划将提供一个独特的机会，为以下领域做出贡献 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.
