| Abstract |
|
This study examined the current state of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in South Korea, highlighting their increasing prevalence due to rapid aging and lifestyle changes. It also identified key issues in the management of hypertension, dyslipidemia, ischemic heart disease, arrhythmia, heart failure, and valvular heart disease. This study emphasizes the need for tailored public health interventions, early detection, and equitable access to medical resources. Policy recommendations include enhancing preventive measures, adjusting national health-screening intervals, improving treatment adherence through education, and fostering multidisciplinary collaboration. These strategies aim to reduce the societal and economic burdens of CVD and promote sustainable public health initiatives. |
