"When we talk about the burden of heart or cardiovascular (ie heart and circulation) disease, we are not talking about how to stop or eliminate this disease completely. Cardiovascular disease is like a package, you will get it no matter what, it's the question of when. Therefore when we talk about reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease, we are talking about targeting the young people, or in other words reducing premature death or disability from cardiovascular disease."
