Overview
Technical summary
One of the five components of cardio:outcome-sprint-primary-composite, worded as the paper's Methods words it. The paper's main text gives no definition and points to its Supplementary Appendix, which this atlas has not read. It counts only deaths from cardiovascular causes, so it is not the same outcome as core:outcome-death-any-cause, which SPRINT reports separately. The registry's primary outcome measure calls it CVD Death, which is kept as an alias.
Definition
Death from cardiovascular causes, as the SPRINT paper's Methods names it among the primary outcome events. The trial's detailed definition is in the paper's Supplementary Appendix, which this atlas has not read.
