Abstract

For decades there has been an emphasis on the first presentation of cardiovascular disease (CVD) as a myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke and subsequently the effort in prevention was on these two conditions. This strategy was very effective and the decline in MI and stroke achieved was about 33% over the past decade.
