Heart Attack Deaths Drop Over Past Two Decades - American College of Cardiology (acc.org). It says "Researchers found the overall rate of death from heart attack, adjusted for age, fell from about 87 deaths per 100,000 people in 1999 to about 38 deaths per 100,000 people in 2020".

The reduction may be the result of awareness, better preventive care, obesity reduction, etc.

My question is about a simple step in health care. Has any research been done about the value of a six-monthly blood pressure check and related consultation in reducing heart attacks? A related question is a similar reduction in strokes.

Obviously, this healthcare is not available to the average resident of most developing countries.

Should it not be?
