According to specialists, heart and vascular diseases are becoming more common among younger individuals, which raises particular concern due to the high level of premature mortality among the working-age population. Every year, about 20,000 citizens aged 30 to 60 die from CVD.
As part of the fight against this problem, a national program called "Healthy Heart" is being implemented in the country, aimed at creating a high-tech cardiovascular cluster based at the National Center for Cardiology and Therapy.
