External link The Atlas of Stroke Mortality: Racial, Ethnic and Geographic Disparities in the United States
The Atlas of Stroke Mortality: Racial, Ethnic and Geographic Disparities in the United States is the third in a series of CDC atlases related to cardiovascular disease, which have been published through a collaboration between CDC, West Virginia University, and the University of South Florida. This Atlas provides, for the first time, an extensive series of national and state maps that show local disparities in stroke death rates for the five largest racial and ethnic groups in the United States (i.e., American Indians and Alaska Natives, Asians and Pacific Islanders, blacks, Hispanics, and whites).
External link The Atlas of Heart Disease and Stroke
An estimated 17 million people worldwide die of cardiovascular diseases, particularly heart attacks and strokes. Many of the risk factors for heart diseases and stroke are preventable or can be controlled, thereby reducing risk. To respond to population health challenges of the global epidemic of heart disease and stroke, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collaborated with the World Health Organization (WHO) to produce "The Atlas of Heart Disease and Stroke."
