CVD
Cardiovascular disease
CVD is the UK’s – and the world’s – number 1 killer. Every day, 420 people in the UK die from CVD.
With 7 million people in the UK living with CVD, someone you know – or maybe even yourself – has been touched by CVD.
The wide reach of CVD doesn’t stop there. As a major cause of death and disability in the UK, CVD places a huge burden on the economy as well as the healthcare system.
