meaning they occurred in a person less than 70 years old, which was significantly higher than premature CVD deaths in the U.S. (23%). Most CVD deaths were due to ischemic heart disease (IHD) or stroke. According to the researchers
provides information about cardiovascular disease mortality, prevalence, and the effect of population change on cardiovascular mortality from 1990 through 2013. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study is the largest and most comprehensive effort to date to measure epidemiological...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) today is responsible for approximately one-third of deaths worldwide, and that figure will surely increase in both developing and developed countries as risk factors for the disease-primarily dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, physical inactivity, poor diet, and...
Over Half of Cardiovascular Disease Deaths Worldwide Occur in Asia Paper urges identifying epidemiological features ofcardiovascular diseasein Asian countries to combat epidemic. The number of people dying from cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Asia is increasing rapidly, with over half of all CVD deaths...
Cardiovascular diseases remain the biggest cause of deaths worldwide, though over the last two decades, cardiovascular mortality rates have declined in many high-income countries but have increased at an astonishingly fast rate in low- and middle-income countries. The percentage of premature deaths fr...
Cardiovascular diseases are by far the leading cause of death worldwide. CVDs remain a major healthcare burden for all regions of the world[8]. About 610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year—that’s one in every four deaths. Heart disease is the leading cau...
Table 1 Projected worldwide health consequences of blood pressure intervention scenarios Full size table About 4–7% of projected all-cause deaths in the year 2050 could be prevented in the progress and aspirational scenarios, respectively, as compared to the business-as-usual scenario. Given that ...
Cardiovascular disease causes 4.35 million deaths per year in Europe (49% of all deaths) and costs the EU an estimated 鈧 169 billion per year. Hypertension, which is defined as blood pressure (BP) above 140/90mmHg, is one of the most common treatable risk factors for cardiovascular disease...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death, accounting for almost a third of deaths worldwide1. Although advances in cardiovascular research and care have increased patient survival, there is still a need to develop new strategies for CVD prevention and treatment, given the conti...
The number of people dying from cardiovascular disease (CVD) is steadily rising, including one-third of all deaths globally in 2019, according to a paper in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology that reviewed the total magnitude of CVD burden
