Sumario:Mortality rates due to coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke have declined in the last century in high-income countries, including Switzerland. However, these rates have plateaued in several countries. We assessed CHD and stroke mortality trends (1995–2018) in Switzerland. We estimated annual rate changes via JoinPoint regression. Rates decreased steadily in most sex and age groups; however, in those aged 60–74, stroke rates plateaued after 2012 among men and CHD rates plateaued after 2015 among women. Cardiovascular mortality continues to decrease in most of the Swiss population. Prevention efforts should be maintained, especially in individuals aged 60–74.
