Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of CVD morbidity and mortality in human populations. It is an important field that attempts to identify, measure, and explain patterns of CVD incidence, prevalence, mortality, and morbidity in different populations in order to inform public health policy and clinical decision-making. This knowledge can be used to inform strategies to prevent and/or manage CVD, as well as to inform health-care providers, researchers, and health policy makers about important trends in CVD that can be used to design and implement strategies for better public health. The findings from CVD epidemiology can also be used to develop public health interventions that target high-risk populations, and to determine the effectiveness of such interventions.
