“…All of these have indeed multiple implications and new data sources, methods and metrics are to be expanded. In doing so, newer efforts to address these challenges will require reinforced values about data generation and data sharing [48,49], where a direct benefit for low- and middle-income counterparts ought to be affirmed and protected [50]. …”

One of the major drivers of change in the practice of cardiology, in both developed and developing countries, is population change, whose dynamics can be expressed by secular epidemiological and demographic trends, with increasing survival and life expectancy across all age strata. The sole concept of transition, whether epidemiological or demographic, is quite dynamic. From a global health point of view, one element merits attention: developed countries have had longer time to double or triple their population, usually more than one century, whereas the same increases in population size in the developing world occurred just over decades. The epidemiological transition theory, far from being perfect, introduced a booster to the understanding of the changing dynamics of epidemiological profiles and provided a complement to the discourse of the demographic change. In this article, with an special emphasis on the challenges faced by low- and middle-income settings, we describe current debates of the epidemiological transition paired with other ongoing transitions with direct relevance to cardiovascular conditions. Challenges specific to patterns of risk factors over time; readiness for disease surveillance and meeting global targets; health systems, prevention and treatment efforts; and physiological traits and human-environment interactions are identified. These challenges provide also an opportunity to redefine the agenda of global health cardiology and global cardiovascular research. This article concludes that a focus on the most populated regions of the world, who bear the highest disease burden related to cardiovascular conditions, will contribute substantially to protect the large gains in global survival and life expectancy accrued over the last decades. It then follows that a renewed workforce in global health cardiology must swiftly adapt to these changing environments. As the world changes, the practice of cardiology, clinical cardiology, global health cardiology and cardiology research will follow suit.

“…Some of the newer schools of public health, particularly those that began as global health programs, have begun to emphasize CDs, and 1 program does merit mention. The Fogarty-United Health Care Centers of Excellence have begun to reap the benefits of their efforts and are producing qualified and competent professionals in centers around the world [10]. Hopefully, this will become an infectious process!…”

And Why So Great a “No?”: The Donor and Academic Communities’ Failure to Confront Global Chronic Disease

Chronic diseases are the dominant issues for global public health in terms of mortality, morbidity, and cost, and they have been identified as such for >40 years. Despite their predominance, however, these diseases-cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, cancer, pulmonary disease, mental health, and dementia-attract little attention in the public health curriculum and even less from the funding community. We explore the rationales that have perpetuated this inability or unwillingness to match need with effort. We examine 3 concepts that impede changing this relationship: 1) the traditional contextual view of public health that emerged, to be sure with great success, in the post-World War II era; 2) the failure of public health to transition to economic development as the goal of health assistance; and 3) the unwillingness of public health to confront social, political, and economic policies as the foci of upstream drivers of the public's health. We conclude with a discussion of the need for public health to expand its horizon and tear down the walls of the silos that inhibit the emergence of relevant global public health.
