Track 2: Heart and Cardiovascular Diseases

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death globally. These are the class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels. It is estimated that 90% of CVD is preventable. Existing cardiovascular disease or a previous cardiovascular event such as a heart attack or stroke is the strongest predictor of a future cardiovascular event. The common symptom of CVD is pain or discomfort in the centre of the chest, in the arms and left shoulder, elbows, jaw or back. Feeling sick or vomiting, difficulty in breathing, feeling light-headed or fainting, breaking into a cold sweat and becoming pale may also be shown as additional symptom. At least three quarters of the world's deaths from CVDs occur in low- and middle-income countries. This is because they do not have the benefit of integrated primary health care programmes for early detection and treatment.
