Declining trends in acute myocardial infarction attack and mortality rates, celebrating progress and ensuring future success

TL;DR: The period 1985-2010 reflects a rapidly changing era in cardiovascular medicine, which spans a period when new evidence-based treatments were progressively adopted, and a consistent decline in AMI incidence and mortality rates, including both total and case fatality rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantifying the contribution of statins to the decline in population mean cholesterol by socioeconomic group in England 1991 - 2012: a modelling study.

TL;DR: The model suggests that statins explained around a third of the substantial falls in total cholesterol observed in England since 1991, and approximately two thirds of the cholesterol decrease can reasonably be attributed non-pharmacological determinants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Explaining trends in coronary heart disease mortality in different socioeconomic groups in Denmark 1991-2007 using the IMPACTSEC model.

TL;DR: The largest contribution to the CHD mortality decline in Denmark from 1991 to 2007 was from improvements in risk factors, with similar gains across all socio-economic groups, however, a clear socioeconomic trend for the treatment contribution favouring the most affluent groups is found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low agreement for assessing the risk of postoperative deep venous thrombosis when deciding prophylaxis strategies: a study using clinical vignettes.
