AB  - Cardiovascular  diseases  (CVDs)  involving  the  heart  and  blood  vessels  are  public  health  concerns  around  the  world,  particularly  coronary  or  ischemic  heart  disease  (CHD),  hypertensive  heart  disease,  and  rheumatic  heart  disease.  CHD  remains  the  leading  cause  of  adult  death  worldwide  (Fig.  52-1),  although  its  incidence  differs  widely  and  the  mortality  ascribed  to  it  is  changing  (Fig.  52-2).  While  deaths  from  CVD  have  fallen  substantially  in  industrialized  nations,  they  are  rising  dramatically  in  others  particularly  in  the  developing  world.1  Age-adjusted  U.S.  deaths  ascribed  to  CVD  declined  dramatically  for  men  and  women  during  the  first  decade  of  the  twenty-first  century,  (Fig.  52-3  and  Fig.  52-4).  mortality  began  to  slow,2  most  markedly  for  deaths  from  cerebrovascular  disease.  Though  the  exact  reasons  for  this  slowing  are  still  unclear,  population-level  risk  factors,  such  as  obesity  and  diabetes,  have  continued  to  rise.3,4
