Abstract

While cardiovascular disease (CVD) death rates declined by approximately 36% from 2000 to 2014, 1 CVD remains the leading cause of mortality among US adults. To clarify the most recent national trends, we investigated CVD and other key cardiometabolic disease mortality rates overall, by sex, and by race from 1999 to 2017.
