Ischemic heart disease

Ischemia is defined as a shortage of oxygen rich blood flow to organs and tissues in the body. This type of heart disease includes angina (chest pain) and myocardial infarction or heart attack, which is a complete blockage of blood vessels of the heart (Heart & Stroke Foundation).

Ischemic heart disease hospitalizations by geographic area

Key findings:

In the Sudbury & District Health Unit (SDHU) area, there were 1,135 hospitalizations due to ischemic heart disease in 2013.
In 2013, the rate of hospitalization due to ischemic heart disease in the SDHU area was 468 hospitalizations per 100,000 population.
The rate of hospitalization due to ischemic heart disease in the SDHU area has consistently been lower than the rate in northeastern Ontario, while the rate in both the SDHU area and northeastern Ontario have consistently been higher than that of Ontario.
Between 2004 and 2013, the rate of hospitalization due to ischemic heart disease in the SDHU area has decreased.
