Cardiovascular disease epidemiology is the study of the distribution, determinants, and prevention of diseases of the heart and blood vessels in populations. Cardiovascular disease, which includes coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, and peripheral vascular disease, is the leading cause of death worldwide. Epidemiological research in this area measures how often these conditions occur, tracks trends over time and across regions, and identifies the risk factors that drive them, such as high blood pressure, abnormal blood lipids, smoking, diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, and unhealthy diet, as well as social and environmental influences. By quantifying these factors and evaluating interventions, the field guides prevention strategies at both the individual and population level, including lifestyle modification, screening, and public health policy. Public Health International, the OpenAccessPub journal hosting this page, publishes peer-reviewed, open-access research on population health and disease prevention. Related OpenAccessPub work has assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices about cardiovascular diseases among adult patients attending public health centers, reflecting interest in awareness and risk in the community. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to cardiovascular disease epidemiology and prevention.
