心血管疾病（CVD）已成为发展中国家的头号死亡原因。这一流行病有可能给发展中国家造成巨大的社会和经济负担，在这些国家，心血管疾病往往袭击那些处于最佳工作年龄的人。由于管理心血管疾病的资源有限，对于低收入和中等收入国家来说，重要的是要以成本效益结果为干预措施的指导。尽管存在负担，但在人群和个人层面上存在降低心血管疾病的成本效益战略。充分评估潜在的疾病风险是所有个人干预策略的组成部分。
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become the number-one cause of death in the developing world. This epidemic has the potential to place a large social and economic burden on developing countries, where CVD tends to strike those in their prime working years. Since resources for managing CVD are limited, it is important that interventions be guided by cost-effectiveness results for low- and middle-income countries. Despite the burden, cost-effective strategies exist at the population and individual levels for reducing CVD. Integral to all personal intervention strategies is an adequate assessment of the underlying risk of disease.
