In the period from 1968 to 1985, the mortality from cardiovascular diseases in Croatia was increasing. In age specific rates (0-44, 45-64 and 65+), mortality in males was remarkably higher than that for women. Considering the deaths from ischemic heart disease (ICD code 410-414) as one and deaths from all other cardiovascular diseases as another group, the analysis of the mortality by age shows greater sex differences for ischemic heart diseases. The presented data reveal a particularly interesting fact: in 1980, in the age group 65+ (70% of men and 90% of women suffering from cardiovascular diseases are in that age group), there was a steep decrease in the ischemic heart disease mortality, and, at the same time, a sudden increase in the mortality of all other heart diseases. It suggests that there were no real changes in the mortality pattern, the changes being the consequence of the difference in causes of death registration on the basis of the IX ICD revision.
1968年至1985年期间，克罗地亚心血管疾病死亡率呈上升趋势。在按年龄划分的死亡率（0 - 44岁、45 - 64岁和65岁以上）中，男性死亡率显著高于女性。将缺血性心脏病（国际疾病分类代码410 - 414）死亡归为一组，其他所有心血管疾病死亡归为另一组，按年龄分析死亡率发现，缺血性心脏病的性别差异更大。所呈现的数据揭示了一个特别有趣的事实：1980年，在65岁以上年龄组（患心血管疾病的男性中有70%、女性中有90%在该年龄组），缺血性心脏病死亡率急剧下降，与此同时，其他所有心脏病的死亡率突然上升。这表明死亡率模式并没有实际变化，这些变化是基于国际疾病分类第九次修订版在死亡原因登记方面的差异所导致的结果。
