COMH Spotlight: Heart Disease Mortality Rate
Our quarterly report for Spring 2015 is focusing on the rate of death due to heart disease. Rate of death is the number of
deaths per 100,000 people.


Overall, Cleveland’s heart disease death rate is higher than the county, state, and national rate.
Neighborhoods with the darker shades of red are the ones with highest rates of death due to heart disease.
What You Should Know About Heart Disease
 Definitions and Key Terms
 Mortality Rate is the same as Rate of Death (death rate.)
 Heart disease is an umbrella term for any type of disorder that affects the heart. Heart disease means the
same as cardiac disease but not cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease refers to disorders of the
blood vessels and heart, while heart disease refers to just the heart.
