Abstract
Despite the well-known geographic pattern for ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality, studies of the decline in IHD have not provided a comprehensive examination of its spatial component. In the study, the authors computed and mapped mean rates and percent change in IHD mortality for whites, ages 35-74, during the eighth revision (1968-1978) of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Visual evidence of clustering and markedly different spatial patterns were found for mean rate and percent change among the State Economic Areas (SEA) of the U.S. Spatial patterns of change varied by gender.
