Consultation for a Cardio & Vascular Health Strategy 2010-2020
The Consultation is now ‘live’! The CVC wishes to hear from organisations to build a picture of what is being done well and what needs to be improved in the prevention and treatment of cardio and vascular disease. Listening to the views of patients is essential if we are to achieve gold standards in prevention and care. Accordingly, the CVC has also launched an online survey. This is your chance to make a difference – so please take part!

Modelling the UK burden of cardiovascular disease to 2020
This new research report demonstrates the scale of the burden of
cardiovascular disease (CVD) - shown to be large, costly, and
increasing. Whilst mortality from CVD has fallen, an
increasing population over the next decade will create further
demands on services as the actual numbers of people living with CVD
climb higher.

Congenital Heart Disease Briefing Paper
With more people living with congenital heart disease (CoHD)
than ever before, it is critical that quality services are made
available to match the demand. Prepared by members of the CVC CoHD
Working Group, this briefing is an exploration of these challenges,
with recommendations to address the different concerns.
