Overview

Regional differences in CHD mortality decline drivers warrant tailored prevention planning; leaves open generalizability to contemporary populations.

Structured PICO

P

13,566 suspected coronary events fulfilling criteria of myocardial infarction or coronary death in persons 35 to 64 years of age in three areas of Finland (North Karelia, Kuopio, Turku/Loimaa)
O
Outcome

The significant decline in CHD mortality in Finland from 1983 to 1992 was driven by reductions in recurrent events and first event incidence in eastern Finland, and by reduced case-fatality in southwestern Finland.
