The Japanese Circulation Society jointly has performed epidemiological study on cardiovascular diseases in Japan. The participants were 22 clinics of university hospital and hospitals affiliated to medical schools. We picked up rheumatic and coronary heart diseases and essential hypertension as the subjects for this study.We made adjustment for diagnostic criteria and subject matters and compiled reports on each case. We had some difficulty connected to this kind of investigation ; those were difference in practical manner of application of the diagnostic standard or in density of description of reports. For this reason some of the reports had to be omitted from this survey. Therefore, we can't say that our study was perfect, but we believe it was sufficient to reveal the present day trend of epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases in Japan and also it has an important meaning as a mile stone for this kind of research in Japan.
