这篇由两部分组成的文章概述了动脉粥样硬化性血栓心血管病的全球负担。第一部分首先讨论了流行病学的转变，这种转变导致儿童时期因感染而死亡的人数减少，同时心血管疾病和其他慢性疾病的死亡也随之增加；然后提供了对心血管疾病负担的估计，并特别侧重于发展中国家。接下来，我们总结心血管疾病(CVD)危险因素的关键信息，并指出它们的重要性可能被低估了。然后，我们描述了影响不同种族和地区心血管疾病差异的主要因素以及城市化的影响。本文的第二部分描述了特定地区或民族的心血管疾病负担，重要的危险因素，以及可能的预防策略。
This two-part article provides an overview of the global burden of atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease. Part I initially discusses the epidemiologic transition which has resulted in a decrease in deaths in childhood due to infections, with a concomitant increase in cardiovascular and other chronic diseases; and then provides estimates of the burden of cardiovascular (CV) diseases with specific focus on the developing countries. Next, we summarize key information on risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and indicate that their importance may have been underestimated. Then, we describe overarching factors influencing variations in CVD by ethnicity and region and the influence of urbanization. Part II of this article describes the burden of CV disease by specific region or ethnic group, the risk factors of importance, and possible strategies for prevention.
