Public Health Approach to Cardiovascular Disease Prevention & Management
About This Book
Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death and disability globally, being the most important public health problem that needs to be tackled as more people die annually from CVDs than from any other cause. Over three-quarters of CVD deaths take place in low- and middle-income countries. This book on cardiovascular diseases provides an overview of the global and regional challenges associated with CVDs. Coupled with case studies and theoretical concepts, it helps the reader to contextualize CVDs in the broader public health system and the administrative aspects of practicing CVD control approaches for improved population health in their local setting.
Key Features:
1. Covers existing and emerging issues in cardiovascular disease epidemiology and prevention.
2. Has a multidisciplinary approach in content and audience.
3. Connects with health systems and relevant sustainable development goals.
4. Provides case studies for enabling readers to understand and apply evidence-based solutions to key public health issues.
5. Has inputs from globally renowned public health experts.
