28 WHAT ARE THE ECONOMIC COSTS OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES? 1. CVDs affect many people in middle age, very often severely limiting the income and savings of affected individuals and their families. 2. Lost earnings and out of pocket health care payments undermine the socioeconomic development of communities and nations. 3. CVDs place a heavy burden on the economies of countries. 4. Lower socioeconomic groups in high income countries generally have a greater prevalence of risks factors, diseases and mortality, a similar pattern is emerging as the CVD epidemic evolves in low and middle income countries. Rationale for a investments in meetings involving Nuclear Cardiology at the IAEA...
