The Claim
From 1990 to 2021, global mortality from ischemic heart disease decreased by 30%, with an average annual decline of 1.30%, reflecting substantial but uneven improvements in cardiovascular health across regions.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Between 1990 and 2021, the number of deaths from ischemic heart disease worldwide dropped by 30%, averaging a 1.30% decrease each year, but the improvement varied by region.
See the scientific wording
Globally, ischemic heart disease mortality declined by 30% from 1990 to 2021, with an average annual decline of 1.30%, indicating a substantial but uneven improvement in cardiovascular health across all regions.
Better management of high blood pressure, cholesterol, and smoking reduces the buildup and instability of fatty deposits in heart arteries, preventing blockages that cause fatal heart attacks.
What the research says
1 studyYes, heart disease deaths went down by 30% worldwide over 30 years, with an average drop of 1.3% each year — but rich countries saw much bigger drops than poor ones, where deaths barely changed or even rose a little.
