CVIA Journal

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.   The global burden, secular trends, and future projections of ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular disease (ICCVD), a composite indicator of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and ischemic stroke (IS), have not been specifically described in women. This study was aimed at estimating the global ICCVD burden from 1990 to 2021, and the projected burden from 2022 to 2050, in women.

Age-standardized incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) with 95% uncertainty intervals (UI), and corresponding average annual percentage change (AAPC) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and associated P-values, were calculated for women at global, regional, and national levels according to data from Global Burden of Disease 2021. Age-specific patterns, DALYs attributable to risk factors, and DALY projections to 2050 were also examined.
