Global Cardiovascular Health

Global cardiovascular health addresses the largest gaps in cardiovascular medicine — the inequities between regions, races and resources. Sessions cover the polypill for primary and secondary prevention in low-resource settings, rheumatic heart disease eradication programmes, tobacco-control and salt-reduction policy, hypertension control campaigns, structural and workforce capacity building, and the WHO 2030 NCD targets. Discussion includes climate change as a CV risk factor and the implementation science needed to close the gap.
