Supports lower ACS incidence in Japanese super-aged populations than Western estimates; extends epidemiology but leaves open generalizability.
Observational (n=367)
No

Ogata et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) (n=367). Nobeoka city residency was evaluated on Crude incidence rate of hospitalized ACS and SCD per 100,000 persons (95% CI 117.2-144.3). The crude incidence rate of acute coronary syndrome including sudden cardiac death in Nobeoka city, Japan, was 130.2 per 100,000 persons, with higher rates observed in men and older age groups.
