A global prediction of cardiovascular disease from 2020 to 2030

From 2020 to 2030, the global CVD burden is projected to rise, with males and low SDI regions-particularly Oceania, Central Asia, and Cabo Verde-facing the highest risks. Strengthening primary prevention (e.g., addressing diet, physical inactivity, tobacco), implementing gender-specific interventions, and improving healthcare access in low-SDI areas are critical. Global collaboration and targeted investments can mitigate disparities and reduce preventable deaths, aligning with equitable health outcomes.
