&nbsp;Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to a group of diseases involving the heart, blood vessels, or the sequelae of&nbsp;poor blood supply due to a diseased vascular supply. Over 82% of the mortality burden is caused by ischaemic or&nbsp;coronary heart disease (IHD), stroke (both hemorrhagic and ischaemic), hypertensive heart disease or congestive heart&nbsp;failure (CHF). Over the past decade, CVD has become the single largest cause of death worldwide, representing nearly&nbsp;30% of all deaths and about 50% of NCD deaths. In 2008, CVD caused an estimated 17 million deaths&nbsp;and led to 151 million DALYs (representing 10% of all DALYs in that year). Behavioural risk factors such as physical&nbsp;inactivity, tobacco use and unhealthy diet explain nearly 80% of the CVD burden <ref>Bloom, D.E., Cafiero, E.T., Jané-Llopis, E., Abrahams-Gessel, S., Bloom, L.R., Fathima, S., Feigl, A.B., Gaziano, T., Mowafi, M., Pandya, A., Prettner, K., Rosenberg, L., Seligman, B., Stein, A.Z., &amp; Weinstein, C.
