Key result
The burden of cardiovascular disease falls hardest on middle-income ESC member countries, where estimated incidence rates are approximately 30% higher compared with high-income countries.

This report highlights significant health inequalities across ESC member countries, with middle-income countries bearing a disproportionately higher burden of cardiovascular disease and procedural deficits compared to high-income countries.
Timmis et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular disease. Middle-income country status vs. High-income country status was evaluated on Cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality. The burden of cardiovascular disease falls hardest on middle-income ESC member countries, where estimated incidence rates are approximately 30% higher compared with high-income countries.
