From: Cardiovascular disease incidence rates: a study using routinely collected health data
Incidence of all relevant CVDs by age and sex (Method A1). Top row: incidence rate of all relevant CVDs combined, including conduction defects and pericardial effusion, calculated using method A1. Bottom row: contributions of individual CVD categories to incidence rate of all relevant CVDs combined. In all four panels only an individual’s first recorded diagnosis of any relevant CVD is included (see Tables 1 and e2). For each age and sex group, the sum of the rates across the five categories in the bottom row is equal to the corresponding rate for all relevant CVDs in the top row
