Аннотация:
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide, accounting for nearly one-third of all global deaths. Despite significant advances in medical science and healthcare technologies, the prevalence of cardiovascular disorders continues to rise due to urbanization, sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy diets, and population aging. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of cardiovascular diseases as “silent killers,” emphasizing their epidemiology, major risk factors, diagnostic approaches, and preventive strategies. Using data from the World Health Organization, peer-reviewed medical journals, and large-scale epidemiological studies, the paper highlights the urgent need for early detection and integrated prevention policies. The findings underscore that most cardiovascular deaths are preventable through lifestyle modification, effective public health interventions, and evidence-based clinical management.
