Most cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by addressing key behavioral risk factors, including tobacco use, unhealthy eating habits, physical inactivity, obesity, and excessive alcohol consumption. People with cardiovascular disease or those who are at elevated risk (due to the presence of one or more risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia or already established disease) can benefit from early detection and management, including counseling, medication, and other treatments. | Most cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by addressing key behavioral risk factors, including tobacco use, unhealthy eating habits, physical inactivity, obesity, and excessive alcohol consumption.

* An individual may be diagnosed with a cardiovascular disease condition, but if they are not a member of a participating managed care organization, they would not be captured in the data. Likewise, an individual could be enrolled in one of the participating managed care organizations, have a cardiovascular disease, be undiagnosed, and therefore not captured in the data. | * An individual may be diagnosed with a cardiovascular disease condition, but if they are not a member of a participating managed care organization, they would not be captured in the data.

* Users should be cautious of using administrative claims data as a measure of disease prevalence and interpreting trends over time, as data provided were collected for purposes other than surveillance. Limitations of these data include but are not limited to: misclassification, duplicate individuals, exclusion of individuals who did not seek care in past two years and those who are: uninsured, enrolled in plans not represented in the dataset, or were not enrolled in one of the represented plans for at least 90 days. | * Users should be cautious of using administrative claims data as a measure of disease prevalence and interpreting trends over time, as data provided were collected for purposes other than surveillance.
