Despite extraordinary advances in the treatment of CVD, which have reduced mortality rates in the most common diseases, there is still a long path ahead, especially in terms of cardiovascular prevention. The prevalence of CVD remains high, but much of it is potentially preventable, which makes the development and implementation of measures to reduce its impact an important goal.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1,2</span></a></p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In 2008 the World Health Organization (WHO) approved an Action Plan for a Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> which is based on three key components: surveillance, prevention and management of non-communicable diseases.</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The importance of these components was highlighted at the High-level Meeting of the General Assembly on the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases in New York, September 19-20, 2011.
