  • Title: Cardiovascular disease and global health: threat and opportunity.
    Author: Greenberg H, Raymond SU, Leeder SR.
    Journal: Health Aff (Millwood); 2005; Suppl Web Exclusives():W-5-31-W-5-41. PubMed ID: 15671084.
    Abstract:
    The transition in global health from infectious to chronic disease, especially cardiovascular disease, poses a threat to the economies of the less developed world. As a more sophisticated workforce becomes a highly valued and harder-to-replace economic investment, the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors becomes a threat to economic development. The next two decades offer a critical period for intervention to blunt the impact of these diseases. The response of the global assistance community has been inadequate and without impact. A new global health assistance paradigm is needed to support long-term prevention strategies to combat this epidemic.
