To the Editor,
In a recently published article, the authors concluded that ‘there are profound geographic differences in mortality improvement for two major causes of death in the USA and that only a few counties have improvements that equal or exceed the national trends’.1 Cardiovascular diseases remain a significant public health concern globally,2 with heart diseases being a major subset. A new data (2023) from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)3 revealed that heart diseases are the leading cause of mortality in the Philippines. The alarming rate of heart diseases and their alarming impact on mortality rates can be considered as a public health emergency in the Philippines.3 This correspondence aims to add to the discussion on the significant burden of heart diseases on the nation’s population and the urgent need for targeted interventions and public health policies to address this new public health emergency.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) mortality database, three major categories account for the top global causes of death: cardiovascular (ischemic heart disease, stroke), respiratory (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lower respiratory infections) and neonatal conditions, which include birth asphyxia and trauma, neonatal sepsis and infections and preterm birth complications.2 A 2023 data from PSA revealed the top three causes of death in the country from January to December 2022.3 Ischaemic heart diseases, neoplasms and cerebrovascular diseases are the top three causes of death of Filipinos. Ischemic heart diseases were the main cause of death from January to December 2022, accounting for 114557 cases or 18.4% of all fatalities. Neoplasms placed in second place with 63377 fatalities (10.2% share).3 From January to December 2022, cerebral vascular disorders accounted for 63281 documented cases (10.2% share), making them the third most common cause.3 Deaths from hypertensive illnesses, which were placed fifth, recorded 35641 cases or 5.7% share, whereas deaths from diabetes mellitus, which ranked fourth, recorded 39193 cases or 6.3% share.3
