Heart and Circulatory Disease Statistics 2019

Overview

Statistics are very important to the BHF. They give our staff, volunteers and supporters a quantitative sense of the scale of heart and circulatory disease’s burden and the challenges we face in the UK.

This edition was produced in collaboration with a BHF-funded team at the University of Birmingham.

The datasets here are from reputable, official sources, and some are created from new analysis, including comorbidities. This compendium has exclusive content for UK mortality and morbidity for heart and circulatory disease at local, regional and national level and datasets for treatments, costs and risk factors. It also features international data from the respected Global Burden of Disease. Time series are included for some indicators.

The Excel spreadsheets here include tables, charts and graphs for each statistical theme – mortality, morbidity, treatments, costs and risk factors.

The searchable pdf version brings the tables from all 5 chapters together in one document, along with a glossary of terms which are used in the compendium.
