CVD diagnosis | Definition of CVD diagnosis | Number of patients | Prevalence [95% CI] (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
CVD | Cerebrovascular disease; carotid artery disease; CHD; peripheral artery disease; heart failure; cardiac arrhythmia; aortic disease | 400 | 43.9 [40.9; 46.8] |
Atherosclerotic CVD | Cerebrovascular disease; carotid artery disease; CHD; peripheral artery disease | 343 | 37.6 [34.7; 40.5] |
CHD | Myocardial infarction; stable coronary artery disease; other ischemic heart disease; past revascularization procedure | 254 | 27.9 [25.2; 30.5] |
