Prevention Considerations in Cardiovascular Diseases regarding the premature mortality reduction

Abstract

Introduction. Cardiovascular diseases are recognized as worldwide (1) and national public health issue (2, 3). This is argued by having a leading position in the structure of general mortality and disability, the substantial loss of quality of life and the health system needs for increased costs. Prevention and control of cardiovascular disease has become one of the priority directions for global and national noncommunicable disease control strategies developed to reduce premature mortality (1, 5). The major cardiovascular diseases mortality was identified some aspects of premature mortality among the adult population in the Republic of Moldova. Overall decrease of mortality due to cardiovascular diseases among adults (-5.9%) has been accompanied by a relatively slower decrease in premature mortality (-2.4%) in the Republic of Moldova (6). Primary, secondary and tertiary prevention measures are essential in reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease and contribute to improving cardiovascular health at the population level. Nature is helping people to maintain their health through mechanisms much closer to them than pharmaceutical ones through the curative action of the various natural factors that form the climate of the respective territorial area. Material and method. There is a descriptive study based on statistical data of the World Health Organization and official vital statistics of the Republic of Moldova. Results and discussions. The climatic conditions of Moldova are favorable to cardiovascular prevention and rehabilitation. Moldova is located in the temperate continental climate influenced by the proximity of the Black Sea and the interference of warm-humid air from the Mediterranean. The annual air temperatures average in the country is 9,30C. In the Republic of Moldova the warm weather with a confortable temperature lasts 175 days and the relative humidity oscillates in the average from 66 to 87%. The country's thermal regime is the most important curative factor for treating chronic diseases and opportunity for the amplification of medical rehabilitation programs for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Application of methods based on the action of climatic factors in cardiovascular rehabilitation process contributes to its efficiency. Increasing the role of tertiary prevention is a good practice for the quality improvement of medical services for this category of patients. By making appropriate, timely and complex measures of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention cardiovascular disease can be substantially prevented. Conclusions. Strengthening cardiovascular prevention centered on a complex approach to all its primary, secondary, and tertiary components is an opportunity to reduce premature mortality in the population.
