Minnesota Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Plan 2011-2020

Updated May 2013

Each indicator helps to evaluate progress on implementing the State Plan. These indicators focus on the Global objectives to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease and stroke; in addition to specific indicators linked to Prevention, Acute Treatment, and Disease Management objectives.

The baseline and current values for each indicator are shown, and change is assessed as better, worse, or stable by statistical significance at the 95% confidence level for vital statistics, survey, and clinical indicators.
