Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. To date, there are 18 million deaths a year globally, but they are expected to increase: it is estimated that 24 million deaths per year will be reached by 2030. After a decline in mortality in recent decades, the numbers are on the rise again, reversing years of progress, both on the front of ischemic heart disease and on that of cerebrovascular disease. Today more than ever, therefore, cardiovascular prevention is essential to catch up also due to a forced interruption of some performances with the pandemic.
