Morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases

Abstract

Kardiovaskularne bolesti (KVB) su vodeÊe nezarazne bolesti, odgovorne za gotovo polovinu smrtnosti od nezaraznih bolesti. Prema podacima Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije, 2008. godine KVB su bile uzrok smrti 17,3 milijuna ljudi na razini svijeta (30% sveukupne smrtnosti), od toga, 7,3 milijuna smrti od ishemijskih bolesti srca, a 6,2 milijuna od cerebrovaskularnih bolesti. Viπe od 3 milijuna tih smrti bilo je u dobi do 60 godina. Udio prijevremenih smrti od KVB varira od 4% u visoko dohodovnim zemljama do 42% u nisko dohodovnim zemljama. Procjenjuje se da Êe do 2030. godine umirati 23,6 milijuna ljudi zbog KVB 1,2 . Prema Svjetskoj kardioloπkoj federaciji KVB su odgovorne za 10% optereÊe-nja bolestima izraaeeno pokazateljem DALYs (u Ëiji izraËun ulaze izgubljene godine aeivota radi prijevremenog umiranja i godine onesposobljenosti uslijed bolesti) u nisko dohodovnim zemljama i za oko 18% DALYs u visoko dohodovnim zemljama 3 . Pokazatelj izgubljene godine aeivota (YLL) zbog Cardiovascular disease -a global public health problem Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the major non-communicable diseases accountable for nearly a half of deaths from non-communicable diseases. According to the data of the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2008 the CVDs were the cause of death of 17.3 million of people at an international level (30% of all deaths), of whom 7.3 million of deaths were caused by ischemic heart disease and 6.2 million of deaths were caused by cerebrovascular diseases. More than 3 million of these deaths occurred at the age up to 60 years of age. The frequency of premature deaths from CVDs ranges from 4% in high-income countries to 42% in low-income countries. It is estimated that by the year 2030, some 23.6 million of people will die from CVD 1,2 . According to the World Heart Federation, CVD accounts for 10% of burden of diseases expressed by the indicator DALYs (disability adjusted life years -which includes years of life lost due to premature death and disability due to the disease) in low-income countries, and for about 18% of DALYs in highincome countries 3 . The indicator of years of life lost (YLL) SAAEETAK: Prema podacima Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije kardiovaskularne bolesti (KVB) uzrok su smrti 17,3 milijuna ljudi na razini svijeta, odnosno 30% ukupne smrtnosti, a na razini Europe odgovorne su za 47% svih smrti. U Hrvatskoj su takoer vodeÊi uzrok smrti s udjelom od 48,3% u ukupnom mortalitetu 2012. godine. Uzrok su smrti u 54,5% umrlih aeena i 42,1% umrlih muπkaraca. U bolniËkom morbiditetu KVB su godinama na prvom ili drugom mjestu po broju hospitalizacija, izmjenjujuÊi se s malignim bolestima. Stope hospitalizacija za KVB rastu s dobi i viπe su u muπkaraca nego u aeena u svim dobnim skupinama. Intenzivniji porast bolniËkog morbiditeta poËinje u dobi iznad 40 godina, desetak godina ranije od porasta smrtnosti. Posljednjih deset godina uoËava se kontinuirani trend smanjenja smrtnosti zbog KVB, πto je izraaeenije za cerebrovaskularne bolesti, nego za ishemijsku bolest srca i to osobito za dob o...

Mortality Characteristics of Two Populations in the Northern Mediterranean (Croatia) in the Period 1960–2012: An Ecological Study

“…Other causes of death from this subgroup relate to causes of death coded by I51 ( Complications and ill-defined descriptions of heart disease ). On the Croatian level, a declining mortality trend from cardiovascular diseases is present [ 71 ], as is the case with heart failure [ 72 ] which is confirmed by this study on the level of two populations of the littoral part of Croatia. A declining share of the causes of deaths coded by I51 in the area of the studied communities can be attributed to the development of diagnostics, availability, and higher level of adequate health care.…”

Management of Measurable Variable Cardiovascular Disease' Risk Factors

“…Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) are heart and circulatory system disorders. It is a set of heterogeneous diseases whose underlying cause of development is most often atherosclerosis [1, 2]. CVD are chronic diseases that are gradually evolving throughout life, and are asymptomatic for a long time.…”

Coronary Artery Disease in Croatia – Current Status and Future Challenges

“…According to data from the Croatian Institute of Public Health, death caused by CVD made up 48.3% of total deaths in 2012 and was the leading cause of death, of which somewhat less than half was caused by CHD. Epidemiologically speaking, there has been a continuous positive trend in the reduction of mortality rate from CVD in Croatia, but with a standardized mortality rate of 342.1/100,000, Croatia is among the European countries with moderately high mortality rates 5 . There is still a noticeable negative difference when compared with neighboring EPIDEMIOLOGIJA Kardiovaskularne bolesti (KVB) vodeći su globalni uzrok smrtnosti i pobola.…”

“…Stress echocardiography is only performed in a small number of specialized echocardiographic laboratories, predominantly using dobutamine to create drug-based exerpom smrtnosti od 342,1/100.000 na razini je europskih zemalja koje imaju srednje visoke stope smrtnosti 5 . I dalje postoji zamjetna negativna razlika u usporedbi s državama iz bližeg, mediteranskog okruženja, što jasno upućuje na nedostatnost provedbe mjera iz strateških dokumenata (Nacionalni programi prevencije KVB, Akcijski plan 2015.…”
