GLOBAL CARDIVASCULAR DISEASES & HYPERTENSION

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for over 17.9 million deaths annually (WHO)

Hypertension (high blood pressure) affects 1.3 billion people globally, yet 50% of cases remain undiagnosed.

Hypertension is the #1 risk factor for stroke, heart attacks, and kidney disease.

90% of strokes are preventable with early detection and lifestyle changes.

Uncontrolled blood pressure is projected to cost the global economy $5.3 trillion in healthcare expenses and lost productivity between 2030-2050.

Deaths from hypertension-related diseases have doubled in the last 13 years, highlighting the urgency for better monitoring and prevention strategies.
