Huddersfield · Kirklees local authority · 2 cards

Huddersfield is a town, not a statistical area: these figures are for Kirklees local authority as a whole (which includes Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Batley and surrounding towns). Treat them as the wider-area picture, not street-level results.

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

Plain-English context

About 14,686 Kirklees 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 23% more emergency admissions than expected. Chest pain is a 999 symptom — fast treatment saves heart muscle.
