ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In this study we correlated changes of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases with trends of age standardized mortality rates and burden for aortic aneurysms and dissections.METHODS:
We analyzed data from the Global Burden of Diseases and EUROSTAT.FINDINGS:
There was a significant increase of expenditure for health from 1980 and 2019. In the period 1980-2000, despite higher health spending, age standardized mortality rates increased in almost all European countries. During the period 2000-2019, in Western European Countries and in Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Slovenia there was a correlation between higher health expenditure and decrease of ASMR. The most important changes between the period 1980-2000 and the period 2000-2019 was the proportion of health expenditure devoted to preventive care and to the increased use of aspirin and statins.INTERPRETATION:
Information about risk factors for cardiovascular diseases have leads to decreased aortic aneurysm related mortality and burden.Key words
