Incidence of 12 common cardiovascular diseases and subsequent mortality risk in the general population.

We linked data available for 1.31 million people seen by English general practitioners in 2010 with data from hospital admissions and death certificates up to 2016 to investigate the risk of death in people who suffered from any of 12 common cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) compared with those who did not. The results show heterogeneously increased risks of death in people who suffered from any of 12 common CVD when compared with people who remained CVD free. The results support efforts of prevention for the entire spectrum of CVD including alleged minor types such as stable angina and transient ischaemic attack.
