In 2023, global acute myocardial infarction mortality varied significantly by country. Mexico, with a rate of 185.74 thousand deaths, saw a year-on-year increase of 13.67%, whereas the United States recorded 106.94 thousand deaths, a slight decrease of 0.31%. Countries like Brazil and Colombia experienced modest changes of -0.71% and +4.09%, respectively. European countries mostly saw declines, with Germany at -2.71%, Spain at -2.29%, and significant decreases in Denmark and Finland at -12.21% and -10.28%, respectively. Interestingly, Peru showed a notable increase of 33.8%. Conversely, some countries, such as Australia and the Netherlands, experienced year-on-year decreases of -4.71% and -3.22%, respectively. Luxembourg and Iceland reported some of the lowest figures with significant reductions.
Future trends to watch for include increases in developing countries where healthcare access is improving, leading to better reporting but potentially higher initial mortality rates. Conversely, expect continued declines in developed countries due to improved healthcare infrastructure, preventive measures, and advanced medical treatments.
