Each year, the American Heart Association, in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health and other government agencies, brings together the most up-to-date statistics on heart disease, stroke and other vascular diseases in the Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update. This is a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, healthcare policy makers, media professionals, the public and others who seek the best national data available on disease morbidity, mortality and risks; quality of care; medical procedures and operations; and costs associated with the management of these diseases.  The 2012 Statistical Update is a major source for monitoring both cardiovascular health and disease in the population, with a focus on progress toward the American Heart Association’s 2020 Impact Goals.
