From: Cardiovascular disease incidence rates: a study using routinely collected health data
Incidence rate of all relevant heart diseases, by age and sex (Method B1). Top row: incidence rate for all relevant heart diseases combined, including conduction defects and pericardial effusion, calculated using Method B1. Bottom row: the contributions of individual heart disease categories to the incidence rate of all relevant heart diseases combined. In all four panels only an individual’s first recorded diagnosis of any relevant heart disease is included (see Tables 1 and e4). For each age and sex group, the sum of the rates across the four categories in the bottom row is equal to the corresponding rate for all relevant heart diseases in the top row
