Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes a quarter of all deaths in the UK and is the largest cause of premature mortality in deprived areas. The NHS long term plan identifies this as the biggest area where the NHS can save lives over the next 10 years.
The long term plan sets out some bold milestones for the next 10 years, including:
- To prevent up to 150,000 heart attacks, strokes and dementia cases
- To improve survival from out of hospital cardiac arrest by working with partners to improve community first response and build defibrillator networks
- To increase the proportion of patients accessing cardiac rehabilitation to up to 85% of those eligible accessing care by 2028(Source: NHS Long Term Plan)
