Health at a Glance 2023
OECD Indicators
Health at a Glance provides a comprehensive set of indicators on population health and health system performance across OECD members and key emerging economies. These cover health status, risk factors for health, access to and quality of healthcare, and health system resources. Analysis draws from the latest comparable official national statistics and other sources.
Alongside indicator-by-indicator analysis, an overview chapter summarises the comparative performance of countries and major trends. This edition also has a special focus on digital health, which measures the digital readiness of OECD countries’ health systems, and outlines what countries need to do accelerate the digital health transformation.

Mortality following acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
Mortality due to coronary heart disease has declined substantially over recent decades (see section on “Mortality from circulatory diseases” in Chapter 3). Reductions in smoking (see section on “Smoking” in Chapter 4) and improvements in treatment for heart diseases have contributed to this decline (OECD, 2015[1]). Despite this progress, AMI (heart attack) remains one of the leading causes of death and the main cause of cardiovascular death in many OECD countries, highlighting the need for further reductions in risk factors and care quality improvements (OECD/The King's Fund, 2020[2]).
