Abstract

With the increasing prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles among Chinese residents, the growing burden of cardiovascular risk factors, and the accelerating aging of the population, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain a major public health challenge that seriously threatens the health of Chinese residents. In 2023, the crude incidence rate of CVD among Chinese residents aged 18 and above was 620.33 per 100 000, with rates of 717.36 per 100 000 for men and 519.64 per 100 000 for women. The incidence rate of CVD increases significantly with age. Despite notable advancements in CVD diagnostic and therapeutic technologies in recent years, both the incidence and mortality rates continue to rise, indicating that the turning point for a reduction in the disease burden has not yet been reached. Drawing upon the latest data from the 《China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2024》, this article provides a systematic review of recent findings on the prevalence trends, risk factors, current status of diagnosis and treatment, research developments, and economic burden associated with CVD in China, with the aim of offering a scientific foundation for the development of effective prevention and control strategies.
