Vital signs: avoidable deaths from heart disease, stroke, and hypertensive disease - United States, 2001-2010.

Implications for Public Health Practice: National, state, and local initiatives aimed at improving health-care systems and supporting healthy behaviors are essential to reducing avoidable heart disease, stroke, and hypertensive disease deaths. Strategies include promoting the ABCS ...
