Abstract

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) still pose a significant burden to the health care system, affecting population subgroups differently.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the study was to describe age, sex, and racial disparities in mortality rates for CAD and AMI in the United States between 2000 and 2020.

METHODS: This was an ecological study with trend analysis of mortality rates using data from the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveillance databases.

RESULTS: Between 2000 and 2020, there was a significant decrease in the age-standardized mortality rates of both CAD (from 249.4 to 118 per 100,000 cases [

CONCLUSIONS: While a significant reduction in mortality rates is evident, the notable deceleration in this decline in recent years reflects a plateauing of earlier gains and highlights the need to identify new targets. The persistent disparities in the identified population subgroups necessitate further exploration to inform targeted interventions and policies.
