CVD indicates cardiovascular disease; CHD, coronary heart disease.
Rates are adjusted to the European Standard population. International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes are used for all countries except Greece, for which International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) codes are used. For countries using ICD-9, the ICD-9 codes are 390 to 459 for CVD, 410 to 414 for CHD, and 430 to 438 for stroke. ICD-10 codes are I00 to I99 for CVD, I20 to I25 for CHD, and I60 to I69 for stroke. The following countries have been dropped from the table because data on number of deaths or population are no longer furnished to the World Health Organization: Argentina, China, Colombia, and Mexico.
