AHA Statistical Update Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics — 2015 Update A Report From the American Heart Association WRITING GROUP MEMBERS

STRIDE (Stanford Translational Research Integrated Database Environment) is a research and development project at Stanford University to create a standards-based informatics platform supporting clinical and translational research. STRIDE consists of three integrated components: a clinical data warehouse, based on the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM), containing clinical information on over 1.3 million pediatric and adult patients cared for at Stanford University Medical Center since 1995; an application development framework for building research data management applications on the STRIDE platform and a biospecimen data management system. STRIDEs semantic model uses standardized terminologies, such as SNOMED, RxNorm, ICD and CPT, to represent important biomedical concepts and their relationships. The system is in daily use at Stanford and is an important component of Stanford Universitys CTSA (Clinical and Translational Science Award) Informatics Program.on behalf of the American Heart Association Statistics Committee and Stroke Statistics Nathan D.

That’s about one of every three deaths in America. • About 2,150 Americans die each day from these diseases, one every 40 seconds. • Cardiovascular diseases claim more lives than all forms of cancer combined. • About 85.6 million Americans are living with some form of cardiovascular disease or the after-effects of stroke. • Direct and indirect costs of cardiovascular diseases and stroke total more than

320.1 billion. That includes health expenditures and lost productivity. • Nearly half of all African-American adults have some form of cardiovascular disease, 48 percent of women and 46 percent of men. • Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the world and the leading cause of death in the United States, killing over 375,000 Americans a year. • Heart disease accounts for 1 in 7 deaths in the U.S. • Someone in the U.S. dies from heart disease about once every 90 seconds.Author(s): Mozaffarian, Dariush; Benjamin, Emelia J; Go, Alan S; Arnett, Donna K; Blaha, Michael J; Cushman, Mary; de Ferranti, Sarah; Despres, Jean-Pierre; Fullerton, Heather J; Howard, Virginia J; Huffman, Mark D; Judd, Suzanne E; Kissela, Brett M; Lackland, Daniel T; Lichtman, Judith H; Lisabeth, Lynda D; Liu, Simin; Mackey, Rachel H; Matchar, David B; McGuire, Darren K; Mohler, Emile R; Moy, Claudia S; Muntner, Paul; Mussolino, Michael E; Nasir, Khurram; Neumar, Robert W; Nichol, Graham; Palaniappan, Latha; Pandey, Dilip K; Reeves, Mathew J; Rodriguez, Carlos J; Sorlie, Paul D; Stein, Joel; Towfighi, Amytis; Turan, Tanya N; Virani, Salim S; Willey, Joshua Z; Woo, Daniel; Yeh, Robert W; Turner, Melanie B; American Heart Association Statistics Committee and Stroke Statistics Subcommittee
