How can the EVGN research programme help us to defeat the cardiovascular disease?
Even though in the last years there was an improvement in the prevention and treatments of CVD, in the developed countries this result is at risk. This happens because of the large diffusion of bad inhabits such as smoking, drinking and overeating, and the ageing of population. It has been shown that cardiovascular diseases caused 51% of deaths in Europe in 2001. This is a big number and the only way to lower it is to understand in detail how the cardiovascular diseases begin and how they develop. Further advances in preventing and cure the CVD depend on inventing new strategies to prevent, diagnostic and treat this diseases.
