Heart statistics publications

Coronary Heart Disease 2012 Cover

The statistics in our publications are drawn from a variety of sources.

Research published in surveys and peer-reviewed journals is collated and adapted where necessary. Information is also provided by the national statistics agencies of the four countries of the United Kingdom and international health organisations.

Every two years we publish a compendium of coronary heart disease (CHD) and other health statistics, which includes detailed analysis of disease in the UK, treatment, risk factors and international comparisons. The 2012 edition has just been published.

Updates to the compendium are available in themed supplements. All of these publications can be downloaded.
