Public health programs, affordable drugs, and greater awareness and understanding of risk factors have contributed to a 20.1% decline in deaths worldwide due to CVD over 20 years. However, it remains the world's top cause of death – representing approximately 23.4% of all deaths across the globe in 2010.
In support of World Heart Day, Annual Reviews offers a special article collection covering the effects of diet on heart disease, the physiology of the aging heart, the role of behavioral and lifestyle factors on coronary health, and the influence of stress and mental health on cardiovascular health and disease.
All articles in this collection are FREE to read until November 15. The Annual Review of Public Health is Open Access, thanks to support provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Knowable Magazine is always free to read and share.
