Abstract:

The occurrence of cerebrovascular disease (stroke) and the resulting loss of life in the U.S. are astronomical. Mortality rates from strokes have plummeted over the last fifty and current patterns of stroke mortality do support the notion that the stroke belt in the southeast is becoming more fragmented; however, additional geographical information and multidisciplinary research are warranted to better understand the distribution of deaths.
