Non-infectious diseases account for 48% of mortality worldwide, with cardiovascular diseases being the main factor. The WHO has calculated that in 2012 deaths from cardiovascular pathologies reached 17.5 million people; this represents 31% of all deaths registered in the world: 7.4 million were from heart disease and 6.7 from strokes. If this trend is not addressed it is calculated that in 2030 55 million people will die from non-infectious diseases of which cardiovascular pathologies will remain the principle cause of death.
Similarly, in Catalonia diseases of the circulatory system are the primary cause of death in all health areas, with a gross overall rate of 241.2 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, constituting 27.9% of all deaths (30.3% in women and 25.5% in men). Death from cardiovascular disease increases with age and is the primary killer in women from the age of 74 and men from the age of 84.
On the other the Health Plan for Catalonia 2016-2020 establishes as health objectives and the reduction of inequalities in Horizon 2020, the reduction of the death rate from diseases of the circulatory system by 20% and a reduction in the death rate from ischaemic heart disease by 15%.
Scientific knowledge has demonstrated that cardiovascular diseases can be reduced through preventative and curative measures. These measures are based on the best available evidence, which must be applied to the knowledge and know-how of the health professionals, both in terms of the application of the measures themselves and in the empowerment of people and communities.
