Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one killer in Europe, but a new study by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) shows the opportunity to save hundreds of thousands lives. The report, commissioned by EFPIA, features six recommendations that can reduce the risk of fatal heart attacks and strokes in people living with CVD, by following medical guidelines.
“There is a huge opportunity to address reversible risk factors in people who are already living with cardiovascular disease,” said Nathalie Moll, Director-General of EFPIA. “If existing evidence-based treatment targets and recommendations are followed, the impact will be profound.”
