[Agency] NIH [Project Title] DEVELOPMENT OF A CARDIOVASCULAR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM IN THE CVRN [Institution] KAISER FOUNDATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE [Amount] $3,463,723 [Summary] The broad goals of this project are to: 1. Establish a surveillance system for coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure (HF) and stroke in the 15 centers of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) funded Cardiovascular Disease Research Network including therapeutic interventions, post-event outcomes and important risk factors and confounders. 2. Work collaboratively to establish and implement an aggregate database incorporating coronary heart disease CHD, HF, and stroke data from all 15 CVRN sites that can be used by CVRN investigators and other qualified research scientists to conduct studies related to comparative effectiveness and health disparities. 3. Identify standard criteria for coronary heart disease, heart failure and stroke clinical outcomes, as well as all components noted in goal #1 to enable data aggregation 4. Determine the most recent 10-year trends in the rates of acute myocardial infarction and stroke hospitalization and their relationship to trends in risk factors, co-morbidities, therapeutic interventions, medications, and diagnostic modalities. 5. Demonstrate that the data can be used to address research questions regarding comparative effectiveness and novel methods of monitoring health disparities, areas that have been identified as RC2 topics by NHLBI.
