Trends in Incidence and Case Fatality Rates of Heart Disease and Its Subtypes in Korea, 2006-2015.

ABSTRACT: Heart disease (HD) is the second leading cause of death in Korea. Several studies in Korea have analyzed the trends of incidence and mortality of myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic heart disease (IHD), but few have investigated incidence and mortality trends of HD and its subtypes. The aim of this study was to assess the national trends in incidence and case fatality rates of overall HD and its subtypes (including IHD, heart failure (HF), arrhythmia, hypertensive HD (HHD), valvular HD, pulmonary HD, and others) in Korea between 2006 and 2015. Using records from the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) claims database (2003-2015) and by obtaining the causes of death (Korean Statistical Information Service, 2006-2017), we analyzed the crude and age-standardized incidence rates from
