has had a heart attack or a stroke (a brain attack). These cardiovascular
diseases - diseases of the heart and the blood vessels - are killing more and
more people around the world, striking rich and poor alike.
Those who survive a heart attack or stroke often need to take long-term
medical treatment. .../...

Cardiovascular disease now ranks as the world's top cause of death, causing one third of all deaths globally. Heart disease can no longer be seen as the problem of overworked, overweight middle-aged men in developed countries. In today's world, women and children too are at risk. Already, 75% of all CVD deaths occur in the poorer regions of the world, and this is likely to increase in the future. .../...
