Although not all Aboriginal/indigenous peoples and communities are at high risk of heart disease and stroke, Aboriginal/indigenous peoples have a higher prevalence of CV and other chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer and arthritis/rheumatism than Canadians in general (Figure 12) (National Aboriginal Health Organization, 1997) From 1984 to 1995, the hospitalization rate for ischemic heart disease in First Nations communities in Ontario more than doubled (from 76 to 186 per 10,000 people) while hospitalization rates for the rest of ...[+++] the province declined (Shah et al., 2000; Harris et al., 2002) In 1991, 31% of First Nations adults reported having a chronic health problem; by 2002/2003, 63.7% reported at least one long-term health condition (National Aboriginal Health Organization, 2005)

Separate logistic regression models were fitted with age, sex and selected pre-admission comorbid diagnoses (heart failure, ischemic heart disease, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes with complications and cardiac dysrhythmia) as independent variables, modelling the probability of having hip fracture surgery within each specified time frame.

Also included the following as examples: angina pectoris, stenocardia, ischemic chest pain, chronic stable angina, unstable angina, using nitrates (nitroglycerin, Nitro-dur), using calcium blockers (such as nifedipine, diltiazem, calan, verelan, isoptin, verapamil).
