Global Responses to Prevent, Manage, and Control Cardiovascular Disease
Global Responses to Prevent, Manage, and Control Cardiovascular Disease [PDF – 3.08 MB]
Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) is pleased to release its collection, Global Responses to Prevent, Manage, and Control Cardiovascular Disease, featuring peer-reviewed papers generated from authors around the world. These peer-reviewed papers offer insight into successes and challenges of public health strategies to improve cardiovascular health through prevention, detection, and treatment. PCD felt it necessary to explore these insights given that heart disease and stroke continue to be leading causes of death and major disability worldwide, despite the recent impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past several years, efforts have increased to implement timely intervention programs in multiple settings, across all age groups, in the general population, and among high-risk groups to achieve population-level improvements in cardiovascular health. Efforts have also been made to enhance data sources and data collection systems to monitor key indicators related to heart disease and stroke prevention. This collection features 20 peer-reviewed papers examining factors contributing to the decline or increase in heart disease risk; drivers of racial and ethnic minority population disparities in cardiovascular health; health equity approaches to reducing coronary heart disease and stroke among diverse populations; monitoring and tracking systems; and lessons learned from heart disease and stroke programs. PCD continues to be interested in publishing peer-reviewed papers related to the prevention, management, and control of cardiovascular disease, including rigorous research that explores the joint effects of multiple domains of racism (structural, interpersonal, cultural, etc) on cardiovascular health. For additional information on PCD’s current topics of interest, please visit our Announcements page.
