a

Race and ethnicity were identified by the official signing death certificates or by the next of kin.

b

Number of deaths represents the pooled number of deaths at any age between 2018 and 2020 with ischemic heart disease as the underlying cause.

c

Proportional mortality indicates percentage of deaths from all causes in each age group that were attributed to ischemic heart disease as the underlying cause.

d

Proportional mortality ratio indicates the ratio of the proportion of deaths from ischemic heart disease in a subgroup compared with non-Hispanic White individuals.

e

Indicates statistically significant difference (P < .05) in proportional mortality compared with non-Hispanic White decedents. Decedents in all Asian American subgroups, Black individuals, and White individuals were non-Hispanic.
