flag UK heart disease deaths in under-65s rise to 21,975 annually, driven by obesity, diabetes, and pandemic fallout.

flag A rising tide of cardiovascular deaths among adults under 65 in the UK has reversed decades of progress, with rates climbing to 55 per 100,000 in 2023 from 49 per 100,000 in 2019, totaling 21,975 deaths annually. flag Experts attribute the surge to increasing obesity, diabetes, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation, along with pandemic aftereffects, health inequalities, and strained NHS resources, including a sharp rise in cardiac waiting lists. flag The British Heart Foundation has launched a national initiative urging urgent research and public health action to reverse the trend.
