GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION OF CIRCULATORY SYSTEM DISEASES: MORBIDITY, MORTALITY AND PREVENTION. A LITERATURE REVIEW

Diseases of the circulatory system occupy leading positions in terms of morbidity and mortality of the population worldwide [1]. Among the diseases of the circulatory system, vascular lesions of the brain, arterial hypertension, and coronary heart disease are the most common. Especially in developed countries, there is a high mortality rate from the circulatory system, which leads to an increased burden on the healthcare system. However, it is possible to reduce mortality through prevention, early diagnosis and effective treatment of these diseases. Currently, many measures are being implemented at the international level to promote a healthy lifestyle and maintain public health.
