Clinical burden, risk factor impact and outcomes following myocardial infarction and stroke: A 25-year individual patient level linkage study

Abstract: Background Understanding trends in the incidence and outcomes of myocardial infarction and stroke, and how these are influenced by changes in cardiovascular risk factors can inform health policy and healthcare provision. Methods We identified all patients 30 years or older with myocardial infarction or stroke in Scotland. Risk factor levels were determined from national health surveys. Incidence, potential impact fractions and burden attributable to risk factor changes … Show more

“…This can be due to two reasons: first, the age of the population increased over the period of study,12 and second, because the risk factors for stroke were better managed 22. A decline in stroke incidence has also been observed in high-income countries,2 which is consistent with the findings of this study: age-standardised incidence rate of ischaemic stroke decreased from 1990 to 2014 in Scotland,23 decreased from 2003 to 2013 in Iran,4 decreased from 2005 to 2018 in Denmark,24 and showed a declining trend from 2003 to 2011, then increased until 2017 in Canada 25…”

“…27 Our analysis highlights the importance of incorporating a measure of socioeconomic deprivation status in risk estimation systems to reduce inequalities in health care provision for cardiovascular disease. Low socioeconomic status is associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes, [1][2][3][4][5] and our study showed that the magnitude of this association was strengthened after adjusting for sex and age. This is in line with published data showing that the differences in mortality rates between socioeconomic classes increased when age decreased, and observed mortality rates were highest in the youngest age groups.…”

“…The ASSIGN risk score was derived from a population in the 1980s in which the baseline risk was high. 10 This baseline risk has fallen dramatically during the last 25 years, 5 and the overestimation is most likely the result of an inaccurate baseline risk used in the risk equation. 5 Our study shows that cardiovascular risk estimates could be optimized when risk scores are recalibrated using contemporary local data, which is in line with previous studies.…”

“…ACE converts the inactive protein angiotensin I into an effective vasoconstrictor angiotensin II, which leads to an increase in blood pressure ( 12 ). Myocardial infarction and stroke that are significantly relative with higher blood pressure are top mortality in the world ( 32 ). Hence, the inhibitors of ACE and pancreatic lipase are very important to protect human health and has been widely concerned by researchers.…”
