Trends and disparities in dilated cardiomyopathy related mortality among adults in the United States: A CDC WONDER analysis (1999–2023)
Our analysis revealed a significant decline in DCM-related mortality rates in the United States from 1999 to 2023, with the most substantial reductions occurring between 1999 and 2014. However, disparities persist, with higher mortality rates observed in males, NH Black individuals, and rural populations. Regional variations also highlight the need for targeted interventions to further reduce the burden of DCM.
