TL;DR
Trends in risk factors and invasive procedures support the conclusion that risk factor reduction has resulted in reduced incidence of acute myocardial infarction and sudden coronary death and that improvements in medical care have resulted in a continued decrease in acute my Cardiac Infarction fatalities and overall coronary deaths.
Abstract
Coronary heart disease accounted for 489,171 deaths in 1990. Age-adjusted death rates decreased faster between 1976 and 1990 for white men than for white women or blacks. Out of hospital death rates for coronary heart disease decreased in the 1980s. Hospital fatality rates for acute myocardial infarction continued a long-term decrease through 1990. Trends in risk factors and invasive procedures support the conclusion that risk factor reduction has resulted in reduced incidence of acute myocardial infarction and sudden coronary death and that improvements in medical care have resulted in a continued decrease in acute myocardial infarction fatalities and overall coronary deaths.

The observed downward trend in serum cholesterol levels has coincided with a continuing decline in coronary heart disease mortality, suggesting that the Healthy People 2000 goal of reducing the mean serum cholesterol level of US adults to no more than 200 mg/dL (5.17 mmol/L) is attainable.

No significant sex differences in in-hospital survival were observed, whereas a poorer long-term survival experience after hospital discharge was observed for men compared with women after controlling for potentially confounding prognostic factors.

It is concluded that in the first five years from baseline the population of smokers aged 25 and over incurs excess medical expenditures totaling $187 billion, which is $2,324 per smoker, and it is possible that future changes beyond recent historical trends in the habits of those who currently smoke, such as reductions in the amount smoked, higher rates of quitting, may result in lower costs of smoking than estimated.

Sex differences in the use of several diagnostic and revascularization procedures during hospitalization for AMI are suggested, which may be attributed to physicians' practice patterns, although gender bias in the delivery of medical care cannot be excluded.

Data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey for the years 1973-1984 were examined to determine if age-related differences in case-fatality rates existed between whites and nonwhites and support the hypothesis that a cohort selection effect in part determines the black/white differentials in coronary artery disease.
