Description
Atte Kallström and co-authors track heart attack trends in Finland across twenty-six years, with a close look at women. Their 2024 study links national hospital and death records for ages thirty-five to seventy-four. Rates had fallen for decades, but hints of a stall prompted the check.
Nearly one hundred ninety thousand non-fatal and seventy-three thousand fatal events were counted. Case rates fell in men and older women, yet the fall slowed in the oldest groups and stopped overall in women. Among women aged thirty-five to fifty-four, rates never moved at all. Death rates and short-term fatality fell in every group. The authors call for stronger prevention aimed at young and middle-aged women.
