Potential Future Burden of Cardiovascular Events Targeted for Prevention by Million Hearts^®

This map shows states’ Million Hearts^®-preventable cardiovascular event rates (per 100,000 people) and counts (in thousands) that are projected to occur among adults aged 18 years or older during 2017–2021 if no preventive action is taken. States in the southeastern United States and extending north to Michigan have the highest event rates. Clicking on each state will reveal information about the state’s expected events for all adults, as well as for adults aged 35 to 64 years—a Million Hearts^® priority population. Click on the “>>” box in the upper left hand corner of the map to reveal its legend. States on the map with cross hatching marks have estimated values because of incomplete data.
