The Global Burden of Disease data (2023) highlights a grim reality: while high-income countries have seen some success in managing CVD, LMICs now account for most CVD-related deaths. This imbalance is partly due to limited healthcare access, fewer preventive resources, and challenges in addressing risk factors such as obesity and diabetes.
