Key result
Effective prevention of cardiovascular disease involves both structural changes within society and interventions targeting individuals at risk.
This historical review emphasizes that successful cardiovascular disease prevention requires a combination of individual-targeted clinical efforts and broad structural societal changes, such as Denmark's ban on trans fats.
Supports dual-level CVD prevention; single case report leaves optimal implementation open for prospective study.
Sixty one years ago, Denmark joined international epidemiological collaborative efforts to identify and address the causes of the rising mortality from cardiovascular disease. Large prospective population studies led to a breakthrough in our understanding of the causes, enabling prevention and risk stratification of the population. Today, Denmark is considered a low-risk country with respect to cardiovascular disease, which nevertheless remains a common cause of premature death. This case report shows that effective prevention involves both structural changes within society and interventions targeting individuals at risk.
