What best explains the reduction in mortality after a heart attack over the last 15 years?

[ on-hold music] Hi, everybody.

It's James Rudd here, the digital media editor at Heart.

Today, I'm delighted to be talking all about mortality reduction that we have noticed in England and Wales over the last fifteen years.

And Dr. Sharon Ayyayo joins me from the University of Manchester.

She's just published a paper which is all about the drivers of this mortality decline over the last fifteen years.

We have a discussion about what is behind this reduction, whether it's medications, whether it's PCI, whether it's guidelines, whether it's lifestyle factors, cardiac rehabilitation.

Any and all of these are, are discussed in the podcast.

So I really hope you enjoy it.

I'd be grateful if you'd kindly leave us a hopefully five-star review wherever you get your podcasts.

It really does help us to reach new listeners.

Enjoy the show.
