Cardiovascular diseases are serious threats to public health. In most industrialized (developed) countries, cardiovascular diseases account for the highest proportion of total deaths. In many developing countries, the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases have rapidly increased, and in some cases, they already constitute a leading cause of death. Due to the significantly larger population of developing countries compared to developed ones, the absolute number of cardiovascular disease-related deaths is also higher.
