Cardiovascular diseases, leading cause of death in the world with 18.5 millions of lives lost a year and the first cause also in Italy for both men (31.7%) and women (37.7%) with 230 thousand deaths certified by Istat, after 18 months of pandemic denounce a real own war bulletin

Hospitalizations collapsed by 30-40%, mortality from heart attack tripled, first visits down by more than 20 % and checkups that mark a dry -30%. Adherence to therapies – which in many cases marks the distinction between saving one’s life or not – dropped to below 50%.
Cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of death in the world with 18.5 million lives lost per year and the leading cause also in Italy for both men (31.7%) and women (37.7%) with 230 thousand deaths certified by Istat, after 18 months of pandemic denounce a real war bulletin.
Without a change of direction on prevention and models of care the future promises to be black, after the turnaround caused by the Covid compared to the progress of recent decades: by 2030 there are an estimated 24 million deaths worldwide per year from cardiovascular causes, more than 66,000 on average per day and for a global cost that will increase from about 863 billion dollars in 2010 over 1 trillion, more than the GDP of the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden or Turkey.

World Heart Day
So on the occasion of World Day which on 29 September 2021 celebrates 20 years with a red alert budget , calls for prevention are multiplying, primary – banning smoking, healthy eating and physical activity – but also secondary with the regular management of visits and therapies. And we need a review of the models of care you look at telemedicine and a new role for the territory.
Easier said than done: the pandemic in the early days of Covid literally barred the doors to the sick and potential patients: if not the conversion of beds, it was the fear of contagion or the real impossibility of accessing hospitals that delayed timely diagnosis and treatment, which for these pathologies are lifesaving. But the pandemic also meant desperately seeking new assistance strategies and in this case too, remote care, on which the National Recovery and Resilience Plan in the Health chapter focuses so much, has undergone a decisive change of pace.
The two priorities
Trials, innovative projects closer to the patient and his needs are now open yards on which cardiology world and Italian is working. There are two priorities to protect the heart: to restart immediately with screenings, treatments and check-ups, and to give wings to organizational innovation. The patient makes the difference: “Use your heart to stay connected with your heart”, is the slogan of the Italian Foundation for the Heart (Fic), which urges citizens to follow a correct lifestyle, to be aware of possible symptoms cardiovascular disease and to stay in contact with your doctor at all times. “75% of recurrent cardiovascular events could be prevented,” says Paolo Magni, coordinator of the Fic Scientific Committee and professor of Pathology at the Department of Pharmacological and Biomolecular Sciences at the University of Milan.
