This GBD 2010 analysis provides comprehensive global and regional estimates of ischemic heart disease mortality and morbidity, highlighting significant regional disparities and the impact of diagnostic criteria changes.

Limitations

  • need for improved IHD epidemiology surveillance in many regions
  • need for uniform diagnostic standards
