Prevention of cardiovascular disease - Quick reference guide
This quick reference guide presents the recommendations made in ‘Prevention of
cardiovascular disease at population level’. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) includes
coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke and peripheral arterial disease. These
conditions are frequently brought about by the development of atheroma and
thrombosis (blockages in the arteries). They are also linked to conditions such as
heart failure, chronic kidney disease and dementia.
The guidance is for government, the NHS, local authorities, industry, and all those
whose actions influence the population’s cardiovascular health. This includes
commissioners, managers and practitioners working in local authorities and the
wider public, private, voluntary and community sectors. It may also be of interest
to members of the public.
