Baseline and Incident Noncancerous Conditions: Data Release 10.1
Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Conditions
For information on heart attack, heart failure, angina, stroke, and transient ischemic attack diagnoses, please click on the links below. Information includes the number and distribution by timing (baseline or incident) and classification; diagnosis confirmation [medical or National Death Index (NDI) Plus/death certificate]; and selected characteristics of diagnosed participants. Heart attack, heart failure, and stroke are part of our noncancerous condition validation efforts where we systematically collect medical records to validate these conditions. Angina and transient ischemic attack diagnoses are not systematically confirmed by medical records, but have been confirmed where medical records are available.
