Contribution of trends in survival and coronar y-event rates to changes in coronary heart disease mortality: 10-year results from 37 WHO MONICA Project populations

TLDR
Over the decade studied, the 37 populations in the WHO MONICA Project showed substantial contributions from changes in survival, but the major determinant of decline in CHD mortality is whatever drives changing coronary-event rates.

TL;DR: The Global Burden of Disease 2016 Study (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive assessment of cause-specific mortality for 264 causes in 195 locations from 1980 to 2016 as discussed by the authors, which includes evaluation of the expected epidemiological transition with changes in development and where local patterns deviate from these trends.

Myocardial infarction and coronary deaths in the World Health Organization MONICA Project. Registration procedures, event rates, and case-fatality rates in 38 populations from 21 countries in four continents.

TL;DR: An analysis of methods and results of coronary event registration in 1985 through 1987 provides data on the relation between CHD morbidity and mortality, and refute suggestions that high CHD mortality rates are associated with high case-fatality rates or a relative excess of sudden deaths.

Trends in the incidence of myocardial infarction and in mortality due to coronary heart disease 1987 to 1994.

TL;DR: From 1987 to 1994, there were significant annual decreases in mortality from CHD, and the decline in mortality in the four communities the authors studied may be due largely to improvements in the treatment and secondary prevention of myocardial infarction.
