Mortality due to coronary heart disease in Germany from 1998 to 2023

Journal of Health Monitoring , 11/06/2025

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of death in Germany. There is a distinction between acute myocardial infarction, which is a directly life-threatening acute event, and the chronic form of the disease. Until now, there has been a lack of up-to-date analyses examining long-term mortality trends with a differentiated view of acute myocardial infarction and chronic CHD. Such an analysis has now been published in the current Journal of Health Monitoring under the auspices of the Robert Koch Institute.

Temporal trends in mortality due to coronary heart disease in Germany from 1998 to 2023

Journal of Health Monitoring , 11/06/2025

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in Germany. There are no recent studies on temporal trends in mortality due to chronic CHD. The aim of the present analysis was therefore to examine changes in long-term trends in CHD mortality between 1998 and 2023. The focus is on sex- and age-specific developments and further distinguished between ICD-10 subgroups for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and (non-AMI-related) chronic CHD.
