ADVANCES IN THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS AND PREVENTIVE STRATEGIES FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent the leading cause of global mortality and require effective approaches for prevention and treatment. The advancement of therapeutic interventions and preventive strategies is essential to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with CVD. Methodology: This is a literature review, with a search carried out in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), using the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS): Cardiovascular Diseases, Therapeutic Measure and Disease Prevention. Six primary studies were selected according to previously established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The findings indicate that technological advances, such as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVR), offer lower surgical risk and faster recovery compared to traditional methods. In addition, the use of artificial intelligence in predictive algorithms has shown promise in personalizing cardiovascular prevention. However, poor adherence to drug therapies remains a challenge in the control of CVD. Preventive strategies, such as the HIPERDIA Program and nutritional interventions, have shown a positive impact on reducing risk factors. Conclusion: It is concluded that the combination of technological innovation, multiprofessional support and effective public policies can contribute significantly to the improvement of cardiovascular outcomes.
