Summary

This category includes circulatory disorders not included elsewhere.

See also Map 75 Rheumatic heart disease, Map 82 Pulmonary circulatory disorders, Map 84 Heart attack and chronic heart disease, Map 86 Hypertensive disease, Map 89 Aortic aneurysm, Map 98 Cerebrovascular disease, Map 100 Other heart disease and Map 108 Atherosclerosis.

Other circulatory disorders tend to be a more common cause of death in urban areas. For females the highest rates are found in Ormskirk and Skelmersdale in Lancashire, central Manchester, Inner London south of the Thames and Medway in Kent. The remainder of Britain has average or below average rates. The urban–rural divide is stronger on the male map, with Glasgow having the highest rates, followed by west London, Nottingham and Manchester.

Although this is a residual category of ‘All cardiovascular deaths’ it nonetheless accounts for over a quarter of a million deaths over the 24-year time period studied here. In the most recent period a third of all deaths in this group were from phlebitis – inflammation of a vein, usually in the legs – and thrombophlebitis – a bloodclot in a vein.
