Ambitious predictions as Yusuf preaches prevention
APRIL 18, 2011 |Summarizing the current approach to CVD prevention as "too little, too few, and too late," he referred to the fact that many preventive strategies and most treatments are not reaching the majority of people in the world affected by CVD and that interventions are being left until far too late in life.
"The future approach has to be focused on the entire population and on societal change; both these are needed, and we need large changes in multiple risk factors. If this happens, we can eliminate CVD from the entire world by 2050," he prophesized. "After all, CVD was not common in 1830, so why can't it now become uncommon by 2050? That is the challenge we all face."/.../
