Percentage of Deaths Due to MI in India
I cannot provide a specific percentage of total deaths in India attributable to myocardial infarction based on the evidence provided, as none of the studies directly report India-specific mortality data for MI as a proportion of all deaths.
What the Evidence Shows
The provided evidence focuses predominantly on Western populations (United States and Europe) and does not contain India-specific cardiovascular mortality statistics. The studies examine:
- U.S. mortality trends: Heart disease mortality decreased by 66% from 1970 to 2022, with acute MI mortality declining by 89% during this period 1
- Post-MI mortality rates: After a first MI, approximately 23% of patients die before reaching the hospital, 13% die during hospitalization, and cardiovascular mortality is approximately 10% in the first year and 5% per year thereafter 2
- Global heart failure data: The 2023 cardiovascular research review includes limited Asian registry data but does not provide India-specific MI mortality proportions 3
Critical Gap in Evidence
None of the guideline documents 3 or research studies 2, 4, 1, 5, 6 contain data specific to India's total mortality burden or the proportion attributable to myocardial infarction.
The evidence provided focuses on:
- Post-stroke cardiac risk assessment 3
- U.S. cardiovascular mortality trends 4, 1
- Post-MI prognosis in Western populations 2
- Clinical performance measures for MI management 3
- Diagnostic algorithms for TIA 7
What Would Be Needed
To answer this question accurately, you would need:
- India-specific vital statistics data from the Registrar General of India
- National burden of disease studies reporting cause-specific mortality proportions
- Population-based epidemiological studies from Indian cohorts quantifying MI as a percentage of total deaths
The evidence base provided does not permit calculation of the requested statistic for India's population.
