1 Salim Yusuf President, World Heart Federation Can we halve premature CVD globally in a generation?

2 Contribution of NCD and CVD to the Global Mortality and GBD in 1998 (LIC & MIC) Disease Contrib of NCD s to total global mortality (%) LIC + MIC Contrib to global NCD mortality (%) Contrib of NCD s to total burden of disease (%) LIC + MIC Contrib to NCD burden of disease Total NCD (%) CVD million deaths annually in the world One third are from CVD

3 INTERHEART: Case-control study 1. Is the impact of risk factors on MI similar or variable in different regions or ethnic groups? 2. What proportion of the risk of MI can be explained by known risk factors? Funds: Started with 25K eventually $4 mill (visible ) + invisible $$ Logistics: Shipping bloods frozen at low costs from 52 countries. Standardizing questionnaires (eg diet ) to obtain comparable data. 10 years 52 countries, 270 sites, 600 investigators, >30 papers

49 Advantages of the Polypill. Improved compliance of both physicians and patients. Decreased costs( <.10 cents a day) Increased access: Non-physicians prescribe /OTC and physicians deal with resistant or complex situations and adverse effects. A basis for promoting prudent lifestyle. Potential large reductions in vascular events.

50 Reorganizing Health Delivery to enhance hypertension (and CVD) control (HOPE 4) (Colombia, Malaysia & Canada) 1. Understand and overcome barriers (patient, physician, systems) to improved BP control through customized solutions. a) Task shifting + door to door screening b) Access to inexpensive generic combination (e.g. the polypill) therapy that lowers BP & lipids substantially 2. Cluster RCT in 50 communities involving 2000 people x 2 years: Goals: to reduce SBP by 5 mmhg + IHRS by 10% which corresponds to a 25% further CVD RRR.

51 Reorganizing Health Delivery to enhance hypertension (and CVD) control 3. Stakeholders (National & local govts, societies and professional organizations) involved throughout. 4. Integrate CVD prevention into national policies & strategies to create a national NCD strategy through enabling laws (similar to FCTC for tobacco control) with organizing surveillance of risk factors and CVD.

52 CVD: The unfinished agenda Infectious causes: TB, infections and nutritional deficiencies Rheumatic valve disease Chagas disease

53 Start at the Very Begining a very good place to start! Life-styles, habits and risk factor patterns are established very early in life. Atherosclerosis is life-long process and if we intervene early (in families), then the benefits over a lifetime will be substantial. Healthy societies will lead to healthy children and more productive, active and healthy adults.

54 Males: Age Standardized IHD Mortality/ 100,000 persons by Region and Globally, , the GBD 2010 study Moran et al, Circulation In press

55 Approaches of the WHF to reduce premature CVD by 25% by Implement what is clear: tobacco & hypertension control, secondary prevention, Med type diet, improved physical activity. Widespread use of simple, proven and inexpensive treatments for acute CVD conditions.(impact in 5 yrs) 2. Implementation thru national Road maps 3. Health systems approaches to overcome barriers and reduce Evidence-Prevention/Treatment Gap 4. Capacity building globally for implementation (e.g. Emerging Leaders, capacity in primary care) (Impact in yrs) 5. Remember the children! ( impact in 25 to 50 yrs).

56 Can premature CVD become an endangered disease in 3 generations? Yes....but this will require the political will and the concerted action of society as a whole! Just lets do it!
