CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE (CAD) orCORONARY HEART DISEASE (CHD)
(oftenbroadly referred to as ISCHEMIC HEARTDISEASE (IHD): primarily
myocardialinfarction and sudden coronary death,broader definition
may include anginapectoris, atherosclerosis, positiveangiogram, and
revascularization(perceutaneous coronary interventions, orPCI such
as angioplasty and stents) CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE or CVDincludes
CHD, cerebrovascular disease,peripheral vascular disease, and
othercardiac conditions (congenital,arrhythmias, and congestive
heart failure) 5. Definitions (cont.) SURROGATE MEASURES include:
carotidintimal medial thickness (IMT), coronarycalcium,
angiographic stenosis, brachialultrasound flow mediated dilatation
(FMD) Hard endpoints include myocardialinfarction, CHD death, and
stroke 6. CVD and other major causes of death for all males and
