心血管疾病(CVD)及相关慢性病现已被公认为全球主要的死亡原因，目前与心血管疾病相关的死亡有80%发生在中低收入国家(LMIC)。1心血管疾病危险因素在全球范围内也有所增加。除疾病负担外，全球心血管疾病在人口和家庭两级都给低收入国家造成了巨大的经济负担。低收入国家中未被识别和未得到充分解决的心血管疾病和相关慢性病的速度加快，需要立即采取行动。尽管最近几次呼吁采取行动将流行病学数据转化为战略和政策框架，但记录心血管疾病健康和经济负担的令人信服的证据与缺乏具体步骤以增加对小岛屿发展中国家的投资和实施心血管疾病预防和疾病管理努力之间仍然存在严重的不匹配。为了促进控制全球心血管疾病所需的行动，医学研究所(IOM)编制了一份题为
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and related chronic dis-eases are now recognized as the leading causes of death worldwide, with 80% of all CVD-related deaths now occurring in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). 1 Cardiovascular disease risk factors have also increased globally. In addition to the disease burden, global CVD imposes a substantial economic burden on LMICs at both population and household levels.The accelerating rates of unrecognized and inadequately addressed CVD and related chronic diseases in LMICs are cause for immediate action. Despite several recent calls for action to translate epidemiological data into strategies and policy frameworks, a profound mismatch remains between the compelling evidence documenting the health and economic burden of CVD and the lack of concrete steps to increase investment and implement CVD prevention and disease management efforts in LMICs. To catalyze the action needed to control global CVD, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) has produced a report titled
