In 2023, Germany led in hospital discharges for atherosclerosis per hundred thousand persons, with a marginal annual growth rate. Hungary, Belgium, and Slovakia experienced declines, with Slovakia witnessing one of the largest decreases.
Countries such as Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands observed slight increases. Norway and Iceland recorded significant declines, while South Korea and Mexico showed opposite trends, with Mexico having the largest year-on-year growth rate despite a low base value.
Future trends to watch include technological innovations in cardiovascular care and lifestyle changes that may influence discharge rates. Additionally, aging populations in Europe could increase demand for cardiovascular health services.
