STUDY OBJECTIVE To identify geographical differences in coronary heart disease (CHD) attack rates in a small urban area and to relate these to indicators of socioeconomic class. DESIGN CHD attack rates were calculated from data of the Ghent MONICA myocardial infarct register for the period 1983-87. The city of Ghent is subdivided into 201 sectors based on morphological, and socioeconomic char...

Heart block, congenital or acquired, is an uncommon condition in childhood; as a sequel to measles it is extremely rare. The three cases bere reported are, therefore, of some interest, as in all three there is evidence ofcomplete heart block having developed either during or shortly after an attack of measles. Furthermore, although Case 1 has since died, all three survived the immediate effects...

There have been few studies of risk factors for coronary heart disease in African American women. The authors investigated factors associated with prevalent coronary heart disease in data provided by participants in the Black Women's Health Study. In 1995, 64,530 US Black women aged 21-69 years completed postal health questionnaires. The 352 women who reported having had a heart attack (cases) ...
