Recent time trends and educational gradients characterizing out-of-hospital coronary deaths (OHCD) are poorly described.
We identified all deaths from coronary heart disease occurring outside the hospital in Norway during 1995 to 2009.

Information on the highest achieved education was obtained from The National Education Database and classified as primary (up to 10 years of compulsory education), secondary (high school or vocational school), or tertiary (college/university). Educational gradients in OHCD were explored using Poisson regression, stratified by sex and age (
