Article Synopsis
- * A study involving over 156,000 participants across 17 countries found that while high-income countries had the highest risk-factor scores, they experienced fewer major cardiovascular events compared to middle- and low-income countries.
- * Preventive treatments and surgeries were notably more common in high-income countries, highlighting a disparity in healthcare resources that contributes to the higher mortality rates in low-income settings.
