Why the study?
Declines in cardiovascular disease mortality have decelerated over the past decade, requiring a redoubling of primordial and primary prevention efforts through healthcare systems-based approaches.
A learning healthcare system and interdisciplinary team approach are recommended to optimize population cardiovascular health and reverse decelerating declines in cardiovascular mortality.
Recommends learning healthcare systems and interdisciplinary teams to optimize population cardiovascular health; extends evidence synthesis into guideline-directed implementation.
Population cardiovascular health, or improving cardiovascular health among patients and the population at large, requires a redoubling of primordial and primary prevention efforts as declines in cardiovascular disease mortality have decelerated over the past decade. Great potential exists for healthcare systems-based approaches to aid in reversing these trends. A learning healthcare system, in which population cardiovascular health metrics are measured, evaluated, intervened on, and re-evaluated, can serve as a model for developing the evidence base for developing, deploying, and disseminating interventions. This scientific statement on optimizing population cardiovascular health summarizes the current evidence for such an approach; reviews contemporary sources for relevant performance and clinical metrics; highlights the role of implementation science strategies; and advocates for an interdisciplinary team approach to enhance the impact of this work.
