Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels, posing a significant global health burden. They encompass a wide range of conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke, and peripheral artery disease, among others. CVDs are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, affecting individuals of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Key Factors and Risk Factors:
Several factors contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases. These include hypertension (high blood pressure), dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid levels), smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, diabetes, and family history of CVDs. Age, gender, and genetic predisposition also play a role.
Impact and Consequences:
Cardiovascular diseases can have severe consequences on individuals and society as a whole. They often lead to serious complications such as heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and premature death. Additionally, CVDs impose a substantial economic burden due to healthcare costs, lost productivity, and diminished quality of life for patients and their families.
Prevention and Management:
Prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases involve a comprehensive approach that addresses modifiable risk factors. Lifestyle modifications, including regular physical activity, a balanced diet, smoking cessation, and stress management, are crucial. Medications such as antihypertensives, lipid-lowering drugs, and anticoagulants may be prescribed to control risk factors and prevent complications. In some cases, surgical interventions such as angioplasty or bypass surgery may be necessary.
The latest findings from the China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2021, released on June 23, 2022, shed light on the persistent prevalence and grave consequences of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in China. Despite advancements in healthcare, CVDs continue to maintain their position as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the country. The report revealed that in 2019, cardiovascular diseases were responsible for 46.74% of deaths in rural areas and 44.26% in urban areas, with a staggering 2 out of every 5 deaths attributed to CVDs.
At present, China has become one of the countries with the highest number of deaths from cardiovascular diseases in the world.
Magnitude of the Problem:
According to estimates provided by the report, the number of individuals affected by cardiovascular diseases in China is estimated to be a staggering 330 million. Among them, specific conditions such as stroke affect approximately 13 million individuals, coronary heart disease affects 11.39 million, heart failure affects 8.9 million, pulmonary heart disease affects 5 million, atrial fibrillation affects 4.87 million, rheumatic heart disease affects 2.5 million, congenital heart disease affects 2 million, lower limb arterial disease affects 45.3 million, and hypertension affects a staggering 245 million people.
Persistent Challenges:
These astonishing figures clearly demonstrate that the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases in China remain in a critical state, with no apparent inflection point in sight. The burden imposed by CVDs on the healthcare system and society as a whole is immense, necessitating urgent and sustained efforts to combat this ongoing challenge.
The aforementioned report has identified five primary factors that can contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases: a high-salt diet, smoking, consumption of spicy foods, frequent hotpot and barbecue meals, and a lack of physical activity, among others.
In the process of preventing cardiovascular diseases, it is crucial not only to improve our lifestyle habits but also to undergo regular physical examinations. These examinations serve as a vital means, especially in detecting risk indicators for cardiovascular diseases present in the blood. Such indicators can provide essential guidance for early prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
Lipid testing primarily involves quantitatively determining the lipid levels present in the blood. This test focuses on assessing the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the serum.
The six key components of blood lipids that are measured during lipid testing include triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, apolipoprotein A, and apolipoprotein B.

In addition to the aforementioned indicators, it is necessary to also assess independent markers that can predict the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as homocysteine.
Homocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfur-containing amino acid present in the human body, which plays a vital role in the metabolism of methionine and cysteine. Many researchers consider elevated levels of homocysteine in the bloodstream as an autonomous risk factor for atherosclerosis. This condition can significantly increase the likelihood of stroke-related fatalities in approximately three-quarters of hypertensive patients.
The measurement of homocysteine has progressively become a mandatory diagnostic procedure during hospitalization in various medical facilities across China. Additionally, it is included as a routine component of physical examinations for individuals aged 40 and above. There are several factors contributing to the elevation of homocysteine levels in the body, including genetic defects, medical conditions, medication use, lifestyle choices, and other factors.
