Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) cause more than 38 million deaths each year, accounting for almost 70% of total mortality worldwide. These are mainly attributable to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes, and other systemic disorders. Among the deaths, over 14 million adults are considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be “dying too young”, i.e., between the ages of 30 and 70 years. Among the NCDs, the vast majority of deaths are due to cardiovascular diseases. These numbers are increasing. According to the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) survey, the number of cardiovascular deaths steadily rose from 12.1 million in 1990 to 18.6 million in 2019 (Fig. 3.1).
