- Ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality.
- Global IHD cases increased by 127% from 1990 to 2021, reaching 254.28 million.
- Sharpest rises in IHD cases were observed in East Asia and Andean Latin America.
- Age-standardized incidence, DALYs, and mortality rates declined globally.
- High-SDI regions saw significant reductions in mortality, while low- and middle-SDI regions faced rising burdens.
- Men had consistently higher IHD rates than women, especially in the elderly population.
- Projections suggest continued declines in age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) through 2030, particularly among adults aged ≥70 years.
- Incidence among younger adults (30-49 years) is expected to fluctuate.
- Enhanced prevention and healthcare policies are needed to address the global IHD burden effectively.
- Policy efforts should focus on risk factor control in low- and middle-SDI regions and secondary prevention in high-SDI regions.
