Frontiers in Cardiovascular Health

The Frontiers in Cardiovascular Health varies between and within nations, depend­ ing upon the level at which the battle is fought for better cardiovascular health. According to the 1997 World Health Report, 15 million deaths (i. e. 30% of the total number of deaths) were attributable to cardiovascu...
