Vasculome

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and across the world. Risk factors associated with CVD among an individual's vascular beds are often shared, as well as highly correlated. This chapter will review the current assessment of cardiovascular health, vascular disease prevention methods, strategies to maintain and optimize vascular health, and will discuss the pivotal role of population health and public policy on CVD development.
