AB Cardiovascular  disease  (CVD)  is  now  the  most  common  cause  of  death  worldwide.  Before  1900,  infectious  diseases  and  malnutrition  were  the  most  common  causes,  and  CVD  was  responsible  for  <10%  of  all  deaths.  In  2015,  CVD  accounted  for  ~17.9  million  deaths  worldwide  (32%),  including  nearly  34%  of  deaths  in  high-income  countries  and  about  32%  in  low-  and  middle-income  countries.
