Abstract
Background
This study describes the national surveillance and modeling methodology developed to monitor achievement of the Million Hearts initiative's aim of preventing 1 million acute myocardial infarctions, strokes, and other related cardiovascular events during 2012–2016.
Methods and Results
We calculate sex‐ and age‐specific cardiovascular event rates (combination of emergency department, hospitalization, and death events) among
US
adults aged ≥18 from 2006 to 2011 and, based on log‐linear models fitted to the rates, calculate their annual percent change. We describe 2 baseline strategies to be used to compare observed versus expected event totals during 2012–2016: (1)
stable baselines
assume no rate changes, with modeled 2011 rates held constant through 2016; and (2)
trend baselines
assume 2006–2011 rate trends will continue, with the annual percent changes applied to the modeled 2011 rates to calculate expected 2012–2016 rates. Events prevented estimates during 2012–2013 were calculated using available data: 115 210 (95%
CI
, 60 858, 169 562) events were prevented using stable baselines and an excess of 43 934 (95%
CI
, −14 264, 102 132) events occurred using trend baselines. Women aged ≥75 had the most events prevented (stable, 76 242 [42 067, 110 417]; trend, 39 049 [1901, 76 197]). Men aged 45 to 64 had the greatest number of excess events (stable, 22 912 [95%
CI
, 855, 44 969]; trend, 38 810 [95%
CI
, 15 567, 62 053]).
Conclusions
Around 115 000 events were prevented during the initiative's first 2 years compared with what would have occurred had 2011 rates remained stable. Recent flattening or reversals in some event rate trends were observed supporting intensifying national action to prevent cardiovascular events.
