    Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death globally. To address this burden on health-care systems around the world, an in-depth understanding is needed about the incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and various forms of CVD in different countries and regions. This ongoing Series of articles from Nature Reviews Cardiology comprehensively describes the global epidemiology of CVD.
