About Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally, taking an
estimated 17.9 million lives each year. CVD is a group of disorders of the
heart and blood vessels and include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular
disease, rheumatic heart disease and other conditions. More than four out of
five CVD deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes, and one third of these
deaths occur prematurely in people under 70 years of age.

 

The most important behavioural risk factors of heart disease and stroke are
unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use and harmful use of alcohol.
The effects of behavioural risk factors may show up in individuals as raised
blood pressure, raised blood glucose, raised blood lipids, and overweight and
obesity. These "intermediate risks factors" can be measured in primary care
facilities and indicate an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, heart
failure and other complications.

 

Cessation of tobacco use, reduction of salt in the diet, eating more fruit and
vegetables, regular physical activity and avoiding harmful use of alcohol have
been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Health policies that
create conducive environments for making healthy choices affordable and
available are essential for motivating people to adopt and sustain healthy
behaviours.

 

Identifying those at highest risk of CVDs and ensuring they receive
appropriate treatment can prevent premature deaths. Access to noncommunicable
disease medicines and basic health technologies in all primary health care
facilities is essential to ensure that those in need receive treatment and
counselling.

 

CVD causes a quarter of all deaths in the UK and is the largest cause of
premature mortality in deprived areas and is the single biggest area where the
NHS can save lives over the next 10 years. CVD is largely preventable, through
lifestyle changes and a combination of public health and NHS action on smoking
and tobacco addiction, obesity, tackling alcohol misuse and food
reformulation.

 

Genetic risk assessment can help early detection and treatment of CVD to help
patients live longer, healthier lives. Many people are still living with
undetected, high-risk conditions such as high blood pressure, raised
cholesterol, and atrial fibrillation (AF). Progress continues in the NHS to
identify and diagnose people routinely knowing their 'ABC' (testing and
monitoring of AF, Blood pressure and Cholesterol) set out in the NHS 10 Year
plan.
