Public Health Atlas · Cardiovascular health

Heart disease and stroke

Age-adjusted mortality comparisons for heart disease, cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke.

Read the geography and period first

Mortality rates describe deaths among residents. They do not identify an individual cause or exposure pathway.

Western New York

Circles show approximate county centers and are sized by the selected value. They are not patient locations.

Eight-county comparison

Highest reported value to lowest

Placement is descriptive. “Highest” is not automatically “worst,” particularly for access, income, screening, and protective measures.
