1 DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST None

2 Dietary changes and its influence on cardiovascular diseases in Asian and European countries Problems of Eastern European countries for cardiovascular disease prevention Prof. Dr. Maria DOROBANTU, FESC, FACC CARDIOLOGY CLINICAL EMERGENCY HOSPITAL BUCHAREST, ROMANIA

3 CVD- the problem o 4.3 million deaths in Europe and over 2.0 million deaths in the EU o ½ of all deaths in Europe ; main cause of death and of the disease burden in Europe o At present, CVD mortality is about twice as high in Eastern Europe compared to the West (465/100,000 vs. 217/100,000)

6 Epidemiology of CVD Developed countries: decreasing tendencies Improvement of lifestyle factors and a higher level of health consciousness in many developed countries Better diagnostic and therapeutic procedures Developing countries: increasing tendencies Increasing longevity, urbanization and western type lifestyle

7 CVD mortality, incidence and case fatality are falling in most Northern, Southern and Western European Countries but either not falling as fast or rising in Central and Eastern European countries

10 Risk factors Over 300 risk factors have been associated with coronary heart disease, hypertension and stroke Approx. 75% of CVD can be attributed to conventional risk factors Risk factors of great public health significance: high prevalence in many populations great independent impact on CVD risk their control and treatment result in reduced CVD risk

29 Large and increasing global burden of cardiovascular disease especially in developing countries. Cardiovascular disease prevention programmes almost all of the available comes from developed countries. Implementation of cardiovascular disease prevention programmes in developing countries is now required. Such programmes have great potential to impact on the current and projected epidemic of cardiovascular disease in those countries
