In 2017, heart disease accounted for 23.0 percent of total deaths in the United States, and about 7.0 percent of total annual healthcare expenditures were for heart disease treatment in adults. Heart disease as defined for this Statistical Brief includes coronary artery disease, angina, heart attacks, dysrhythmias, and heart failure. For more than two decades, the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey-Household Component (MEPS-HC) has been a major data source for national estimates of healthcare expenses for the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population. This Statistical Brief presents estimates for healthcare expenditures for the treatment of heart disease by selected characteristics among adults based on the 2017 MEPS-HC. All analyses use MEPS full-year person-level sampling weights, which take disproportionate sampling and survey nonresponse into account. Only differences between estimates that are statistically significant at the 0.05 level are mentioned in the text of this Statistical Brief.
2017年，心脏病在美国总死亡人数中占23.0%，每年用于成人心脏病治疗的医疗保健支出约占总支出的7.0%。本统计简报所定义的心脏病包括冠状动脉疾病、心绞痛、心脏病发作、心律失常和心力衰竭。二十多年来，医疗支出小组调查家庭部分（MEPS-HC）一直是美国非机构化平民人口医疗保健费用全国估计数的主要数据来源。本统计简报介绍了根据2017年MEPS-HC按选定特征对成人心脏病治疗的医疗保健支出估计数。所有分析均使用MEPS全年个人层面抽样权重，该权重考虑了不成比例抽样和调查无应答情况。本统计简报文本中仅提及在0.05水平上具有统计学显著性的估计数之间的差异。
