Hearts in Hartlepool.

Hartlepool local authority · 2 cards

Coronary heart disease on record in Hartlepool — and emergency heart-attack admissions, honestly labelled.

Plain-English context

About 4,090 Hartlepool GP patients live with coronary heart disease (narrowed heart arteries). Better survival means more people living with the condition — prevalence mixes new cases, survival and recording, so read it with its trend. The heart-attack admissions card is age-adjusted but old (pooled to 2020/21, including the pandemic) and labelled as such: it showed about 74% more emergency admissions than expected. Chest pain is a 999 symptom — fast treatment saves heart muscle.
