Abstract

This chapter presents basic facts about the social impact and frequency of cardiovascular diseases in aging societies. Being the primary cause of mortality in developed countries, cardiovascular abnormalities receive the most of the attention in the medical world. The problem is particularly observed in developed countries with a significantly longer life expectancy (Japan, Canada) and leading in healthcare organization and research. Also considering the acuteness of a typical cardiac failure gives proper attention to why cardiology is given so much importance in the treatment of life-threatening situations. Making progress in cardiac diagnosis and treatment, including modern and wide-range surveillance, is potentially beneficial to whole societies and countries. It also influences both life length and comfort, which are today among the most appreciated of human values.
