Other circulatory diseases

Other diseases affect the circulation of blood throughout the body.  These can include:

• atherosclerosis: the “hardening” of the arteries due to a buildup of plaque from cholesterol, fatty tissue, and other materials
• embolism and/or thrombosis: where blood flow to one part of the body is slowed, or stopped completely, due to a blood clot, fatty tissue, or another cause
• aneurysm: a balloon-like bulge in a weakened blood vessel wall, which may burst causing bleeding and death
• varicose veins: where veins, often in the leg, become enlarged and twisted. This is particularly common in older women, and can result from pregnancy.

• hospitalizations by geographic area
• hospitalizations by Greater Sudbury and outlying areas
• hospitalizations by sex
• hospitalizations by age group
• deaths by geographic area
• potential years of life lost (PYLL) by geographic area

Other circulatory diseases hospitalizations by geographic area

Key findings:

• In the Sudbury & District Health Unit (SDHU) area, there were 194 hospitalizations due to other circulatory diseases in 2013.
• In 2013, the rate of hospitalization due to other circulatory diseases in the SDHU area was 81 hospitalizations per 100,000 population.
• The rate of hospitalization due to other circulatory diseases in the SDHU area has been generally similar to that in northeastern Ontario, while the rates in both areas have consistently been higher than the rate in Ontario.
• Between 2004 and 2013, the rate of hospitalization due to other circulatory diseases in the SDHU area has fluctuated, but has decreased overall.
