Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major global health issue requiring effective treatment and preventive measures, particularly through lifestyle changes such as diet, physical activity, and stress management. Evidence supports the integration of these changes into CVD management, as recommended by the WHO, yet adherence remains low among patients. Addressing social determinants of health and combining lifestyle modifications with medical treatments are essential for improving outcomes and reducing the burden of CVD.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity across the world. These
disorders emerge the need for an effective treatment, preventive measures, and various
control strategies. Our day-to-day activities such as dietary intake, smoking cessation,
increase in physical activity and stress impact our cardiac health and its output.
Evidence from clinical trials, observational studies, and meta-analyses supports the need to
incorporate these lifestyle changes into comprehensive cardiovascular disease management,
as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Effective management strategies
include regular monitoring of blood lipids and glucose levels, adherence to antihypertensive
and lipid-lowering therapy, and structured physical activity. Reducing stress and controlling
weight are also essential to managing cardiovascular disease risk. Despite robust evidence,
practical implementation is limited, with only a minority adhering to all recommended
practices. This highlights the need for healthcare providers to actively incorporate lifestyle
medicine into routine care. Additionally, social determinants of health must be addressed to
improve adherence and overall outcomes. Combining lifestyle changes with pharmacological
and surgical treatment is essential to manage cardiovascular risks associated with diabetes
and metabolic syndrome. This complex strategy corresponds to the recommendations of
World Health Organization (WHO) and is crucial for reducing global burden of
cardiovascular diseases.
