Consider that in most CHD outcome studies, “long-term” follow up is 3-5 years.

Cardiovascular Health Study
• 5,888 Participants Age ≥65 years (1989-1990)
– Mean Age 72.8 yr– HTN (58%), DM (16%), Smoking (12%)– Prior MI (10%), Stroke (4%), HF (5%)– Mean Total Chol = 211 mg/dL– Medications
• Lipid lowering (6%), Antihypertensive (47%)
• Semiannual contact- 10 years of follow up

Conclusions• CVD is the leading cause of death
– Incidence increases with age– CVD >men; CHF equal; Stroke >women
• Risk factors contribute to new events– explaining up to 85% of PAR for first MI
• Improvements in Chol and HTN offset by worsening obesity and DM– Long way to go for Healthy People 2010 Goals– BP is poorly controlled relative to guidelines, especially
among older women– HTN may explain up to 25% of new events
