Abstract

According to data from the Italian Ministry of Health, cardiovascular disease represents the leading cause of death in Italy, being responsible for 44% of all deaths.More specifically, ischemic heart disease is the first cause (28% of total deaths) and cerebrovascular conditions are the third cause (13% of all deaths). In countries in the European Union, heart disease causes the death of approximately 1.5 million people — this is 42%, or a little less than half, of all deaths — and stroke causes 25% of all deaths [1]. A similar situation is found in the United States, where heart disease accounts for about 930, 000 deaths every year, or, 40% of the total deaths [2].
