Rates of coronary events and case-fatality in a number of European countries, for men and women, over a 10-year period around 1990 (source: Tunstall-Pedoe et al., 1999)

The data shown above were collected by the MONICA project and refer to 24 populations in 13 countries. Mean annual coronary event rates (fatal and non fatal first and recurrent events) are given per 100,000 during the 10-year registration (mid 1980s-mid 90s) in men and women aged 35-64 years. The data are standardized using the direct method using the World Standard Population as a reference. The 28-day case-fatality (percentage of incident cases dying within 28 days) includes deaths within and outside the hospital. The given trend covers the 10-year regisration period. | ||
