Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in developed countries. CVD prevention is considered a set of coordinated actions aimed at the population, or at an individual person, to eliminate or minimise the impact of CVD and the disabilities associated with it. Despite advances in diagnosis and interventional therapies, CVD remains a major public health problem, and a major health and economic burden. The main cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) are age, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking and diabetes mellitus. Lifestyle changes and pharmacological treatment reduce cardiovascular events and extend life expectancy.
