2 Distribution of Major Causes of Death Worldwide

3 Non Communicable Disease A Burden on the Developed and Developing World

4 Mortality Rates from Ischemic Heart Disease Age Standardized/100,000

5 Burden of Cardiovascular Disease DALYs, Age Standardized/100,000

6 An Urgent Development Issue NCDs make the largest contribution to mortality both globally and in the majority of low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) Worldwide, NCDs account for 60% (35 million) of global deaths The largest burden - 80% (28 million) - occurs in LMICs, making NCDs a major cause of poverty and an urgent development issue

7 Global Increase in CV Diseases Impact NCDs will cost the world $47 trillion over the next 20 years Of this, heart disease represents 43% or $20 trillion Sources: WEF, Harvard U & WHO

48 International Leadership Academy at ACC Growing Emerging Leaders

49 The Road Towards Achieving 25 x 25 Significant reduction in CV Risk factors, morbidity and mortality is achievable; It is regional, local, and difficult. It is multifactorial: aim at risk factor modification and availability of both treatments and policies to reduce CVD mortality Policy interventions will likely include a focus on tobacco and salt reduction Needs resources! Countries will need to improve access to medications and develop health systems that are capable of managing acute and chronic conditions Need champions and emerging leaders of health in government, community, and in the CV profession Professional societies can help partner for health (community, government, industry), educate health professionals and groom emerging leaders
