To examine trends and patterns of geographic variation in mortality from specific cardiovascular diseases across United States counties between 1980 and 2014.
County-level epidemiological analysis of cardiovascular mortality trends across the United States from 1980 through 2014.
Evaluation of geographic variations across diverse cardiovascular conditions, including ischemic heart disease, stroke, atrial fibrillation, and myocardial diseases.
Substantial county-level differences emerged in mortality rates for ischemic heart disease and stroke.
Smaller geographic differences were observed for diseases of the myocardium, atrial fibrillation, aortic and peripheral arterial disease, rheumatic heart disease, and endocarditis.
