Resumen
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE is the main cause of death in most Latin American countries1 and in Hispanics living in the United States.2 The highest age-adjusted mortality rates (per 100,000) from cardiovascular disease are found in men and women living in Brazil (534.3 and 374.4, respectively), whereas Costa Rica has the highest cardiovascular disease rates in Central America (229.1 and 175.4, respectively). These numbers are comparable to those found in men and women living in industrialized North American countries, such as Canada (314.8 and 170.4, respectively) and the United States (223.1 and 136.1, respectively)
