Hearts in Sandwell.
Sandwell local authority · 2 cards
Coronary heart disease on record in Sandwell — and emergency heart-attack admissions, honestly labelled.
Plain-English context
About 12,467 Sandwell 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 14% more emergency admissions than expected. Chest pain is a 999 symptom — fast treatment saves heart muscle.
