Abstract
For more than 40 years, cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the leading cause of death in the United States. However, in the general population, there has been a significant reduction in mortality associated with CVD sincethe mid-1960s. 1 Until recently, CVD was uncommon in Native Americans. Today, CVD has become the leading causeof death in Native Americans, with incidence rates and associated mortality higher than in other U.S. populations. 2,3
