Note: Ratios in bold show that Māori rates were significantly different from non-Māori rates in the DHB.
On average, 74 Māori per year were admitted to hospital for ischaemic heart disease (IHD), at a rate 29% higher than non-Māori. Of those admitted for IHD, 47 Māori admissions per year were for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Māori women had twice the risk of admission for ACS of non-Māori women (76 more admissions per 100,000). However, for both IHD and ACS admission rates were higher for men than for women.
There were 79 angiography procedures conducted for Māori patients per year on average, at a rate 27% higher than the non-Māori rate. On average, 27 Māori per year had angioplasty procedures, with the rate for Māori women more than twice the non-Māori rate. Nine Māori per year had a CABG, with the rate for males more than double that of females. Māori women had twice the rate of CABG of non-Māori women.

Note: Ratios in bold show that Māori rates were significantly different from non-Māori rates in the DHB.
There were 72 admissions per year on average among Māori with heart failure, at 4 times the rate of non-Māori, or 234 more admissions per 100,000. Men were more likely to be admitted than women.
On average, 40 Māori per year were admitted for stroke. Māori women had nearly twice the risk of non-Māori women, or 87 more admissions per 100,000.
There were 11 Māori admissions per year on average for hypertensive disease, at a rate twice that of non-Māori, or 28 more admissions per 100,000.

Māori had 2.7 times the non-Māori rate of admission for chronic rheumatic heart disease (CRHD) but similar rates of heart valve replacement. On average, four Māori per year were admitted for CRHD and three had heart valves replaced.

Notes: “Early deaths” are defined as those occurring under 75 years of age.
Ratios in bold show that Māori rates were significantly different from non-Māori rates in the DHB.
On average 25 Auckland Māori per year died early from circulatory system disease (including heart disease and stroke), at 2.5 times the rate of non-Māori, or 34 more deaths per 100,000. Males had higher mortality rates than females.
