Cardiovascular heart disease mortality has fallen tremendously since the 1960s. It's not totally clear why this is.pic.twitter.com/oEtbn8HAQJ
More interestingly, CHD mortality is higher today than it was in the early 1900s. Prior tweet source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5268076/ … This tweet source: https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(14)00354-4/pdf …pic.twitter.com/sq5XsqGazG
Another weird graph from the same AJM study. Mortality went down between 1970 and 2000, but heart attack hospitalizations went up. This implies, to me, that while mortality may be falling, I'm not sure morbidity is. I looked everywhere for stats on this and couldn't find any.pic.twitter.com/gqjv6Ktk4E
If you get a heart attack today, you're way less likely to die from it than you were 40-50 years ago.pic.twitter.com/QAN1PBY6OO
Heart medicine seems like one medical area that is pretty dialed. Pretty remarkable the tech advancements and precision/understanding - esp compared to other things like cancer. Not sure, but just an idea.
Not an expert, but I think we're better at treating it than preventing it. Stents, pharmaceuticals, coronary bypass - we have all sorts of tools for that, but there still seems to be a lot of debate about what causes it.
