DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Advances in cardiovascular disease prevention have l
 ed to steep reductions in premature vascular mortality and morbidity in ma
 ny parts of the world and are often hailed as one of the major public heal
 th accomplishments of the past half century. In recent years however\, thi
 s downward trend seems to have reached a plateau or even reversed in sever
 al high-income countries. Dr. Conrad will present a series of studies inve
 stigating long-term trends in cardiovascular disease epidemiology that aim
 ed to uncover possible reasons underlying recent trends\, investigating ho
 w different types of cardiovascular disease presentations and different pa
 tient groups have impacted the overall population burden\, and how these f
 indings may lead us to reflect on our approach to cardiovascular disease p
 revention. Many of these studies have used electronic health records from 
 the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD)\, a cohort of 22 million in
 dividuals that is representative of the UK population in terms of age and 
 sex\, to investigate 20-year trends in incidence\, risk factors\, and case
  fatality rates across 10 cardiovascular disease presentations.
