Cardiovascular Disease
Mayo Clinic investigators have tracked coronary-heartdisease (CHD) mortality in Olmstead County, Minnesota, for the past 20 years[17]. Mayo Clinic physicians provided virtually all medical care to Olmstead County residents.  Deaths from CHD were subdivided into those that occurred in hospital and those that occurred out of hospital. Inhospital death rates are thought to be influenced mainly by advances in medical care. Out-of-hospital death rates are thought to be influenced mainly by changes in risk-factor levels over time. For men, out-of-hospital CHD death rates were 280 cases per 100,000 men per year and in-hospital CHD death rates were 120 cases per 100,000 men per year in 1998. For women, out-of-hospital CHD death rates were 100 cases per 100,000 women per year; in-hospital CHD death rates were 40 cases per 100,000 women per year in 1998.
