Implication

Population based study shows declining coronary events but rising arrhythmias in UK adults, indicating that broader prevention beyond atherosclerotic disease is needed.

Key Points

Overall cardiovascular disease incidence dropped significantly before plateauing, as steep declines in stroke were counterbalanced by rising rates of cardiac arrhythmias.
Standardised cardiovascular disease incidence declined by 19% over twenty years, while acute coronary syndrome rates fell with an incidence rate ratio of 0.70.
Population based study using negative binomial regression models reveals persistent socioeconomic disparities in heart failure, highlighting the need for wider preventive care.
