Trends and disparities in amyloidosis and cardiovascular disease mortality: a population-based retrospective study in the United States (1999–2020)
Age-adjusted mortality rates for deaths co-coded with amyloidosis and cardiovascular disease have increased over time, likely reflecting improved recognition and documentation. Higher rates of co-coded deaths were noted among men, African Americans, and individuals in the Northeast region, highlighting potential disparities in diagnostic access and recognition.
