Future healthcare systems must prepare for a rapid rise in the total global burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, which is projected to increase by 73.4% between 2025 and 2050, primarily driven by the ageing global population, according to a study published in the September Issue of European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.

While improved medical care is reflected in a projected 30.5% decline in age-standardized mortality rates, the continued dominance of atherosclerotic diseases, led by ischaemic heart disease and high systolic blood pressure, necessitates tailored, region- and sex-specific preventive strategies.

Cardiovascular disease significantly contributes to worldwide mortality and escalating healthcare costs. The new research forecasts major geopolitical trends in c
