The Atlas of Heart Disease and Stroke
2018
This data publication from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) presents the global latest data related to heart disease and stroke in an accessible format. The short publication breaks down the global burden of heart disease and stroke in six sections: cardiovascular disease types, risk factors, burden, action, the future and the past, and world tables. Beyond preventable mortality, heart diseases also cause high morbidity and economic burden. By discussing current research, organizations, prevention approaches, health education, legislation, and treatment, this resource provides information for future policy development. Individual chapters are available for download.
