Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading global health issue, with increasing prevalence and economic impact. This study systematically reviews the current literature on CVD prevalence, prevention, management strategies, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in cardiovascular medicine.


Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar. Studies were screened for relevance, and data were synthesized to evaluate trends, interventions, and AI applications in cardiovascular care.


Results: The review found a rising prevalence of CVDs and substantial economic burden. Behavioral interventions, including weight loss and dietary counseling, are effective in reducing cardiovascular risk. AI has shown potential in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and personalizing treatment, though challenges in validation and implementation remain.


Conclusion: Addressing the growing burden of CVDs requires effective prevention strategies and the integration of validated AI tools into clinical practice. Future research should focus on optimizing these approaches and assessing their cost-effectiveness to improve cardiovascular health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
