The ultimate goal is to improve the health and well-being of the American people. Although program priorities are determined primarily by research opportunities, other factors have an influence: the magnitude, distribution, and trends of cardiovascular, lung, and blood diseases in the United States, as well as the ability to improve the Nation’s health; congressional mandates; the health needs of the Nation, as perceived by Institute staff and outside advisory groups; and recommendations from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Advisory Council. Evaluation of the Institutes program balance and program impact is a continuous process that relies on assessments of morbidity and mortality in the United States from cardiovascular, lung, and blood dis- eases. Consideration is given to their distribution among the population; to their trends over time; and to related statistics on population risk factors, lifestyles, medical care, and economic impact. This Chart Book, like its predecessors, provides information on the progress being made in the fight against cardiovascular, lung, and blood diseases. It serves as a resource for the Institute as it plans and prioritizes future activities. I would like to express my appreciation to Dr. Michael Mussolino of the NHLBI for his time and effort in developing the material presented in this Chart Book. Also, I would like to acknowledge Ms. Nancy Eng of the NHLBI who has for many years demonstrated extraordinary dedication to ensuring the quality of both the Chart Book and the NHLBI Fact Book.
