Justification of a Systemic Approach in the Sudden Cardiac Death Prevention: A Possible Solution to the Problem of Excessive Mortality in Russia (Literature Review) Part I. Cardiovascular Aspects of Excessive Morality in Russia: The State of the Problem and Potential for Prevention

Abstract

The review of the existing evidence on the problem of excessive mortality in Russia has demonstrated that the country is at the initial stage of the irreversible depopulation process. The current healthcare situation, in regard to cardiovascular disease (CVD), does not provide much hope for the effectiveness of existing measures for fatal CVD prevention.

This discussion should be started in the nearest future.
