Cardiovascular Disease Incidence and Detection

Cardiovascular disease affects hundreds of millions of people and accounts for roughly one in three deaths globally. Despite its high incidence, survivability has improved significantly over recent decades due to advances in early detection, medical therapies, interventional procedures, and risk-factor management. However, many cardiovascular events still occur suddenly or are diagnosed at advanced stages, limiting treatment effectiveness. Early detection is critically important because it allows for timely intervention, lifestyle modification, and preventive therapies that can dramatically reduce morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.
