Epidemiological transition
• All over world there has been or there is going on a transition of infectious diseases to chronic degenerative diseases, of which the cardiovascular diseases are the most important for the life expectancy;
• The transition is often slower in rural than in urban areas.
Infectious chronic conditions

Causes of death
• Netherlands 2005: 32% cardiovascular diseases and 30% cancer;
• In the future the same in China and Tangshan ?

Cardiovascular disease:(morbidity)
• Myocardial infarction;• Chronic heart failure;• Aneurysm of the aorta; • Stroke;• Other. We concentrate on myocardial infarction and
stroke as the two most common events.

The importance of monitoring CVD in China:
Monitoring CVD with international standardized methods in China is feasible and urgently needed in view of the rapid socioeconomic development and transition of disease patterns taking place in China.
Conclusion of the Sino-MONICA Project (Circulation. 2001;103:462-468 )
![Page 19: Organizing the fight against cardiovascular disease in Tangshan and in the Netherlands](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070402/5681382c550346895d9fda1b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why is registration important, also in Tangshan?
To know about:
• Which preventable diseases are important in your population?
• Which subpopulations (age, sex, educational level, occupation, etc) are most at risk?
• Which are the ongoing trends for those diseases in those subpopulations?
• Do preventive interventions make a difference in those trends?
![Page 20: Organizing the fight against cardiovascular disease in Tangshan and in the Netherlands](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070402/5681382c550346895d9fda1b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Risk factors for CVD
Genetics
and
Behavior
Blood pressure
Cholesterol level
Glucose tolerance
Weight (Obesity)
Myocardial infarction
and
Stroke
Behavioral risk factors:- smoking;
- diet, too much and too fat;
- lack of exercise.
![Page 21: Organizing the fight against cardiovascular disease in Tangshan and in the Netherlands](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070402/5681382c550346895d9fda1b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Possible interventions
Treatment of disease
Early detection of a starting, latent disease and of an high risk profile, stimulating awareness of risks.
Health promotion, stimulating behavioral change, sometimes preventive medication
![Page 22: Organizing the fight against cardiovascular disease in Tangshan and in the Netherlands](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070402/5681382c550346895d9fda1b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cardiovascular risk management in the Netherlands, the standard:
Distinction between two groups:
1. Patients who had already an episode of CVD or who have diabetes II;
2. Patients without CVD or diabetes II, but with:
- systolic blood pressure > 140 mmHg
- total cholesterol . 6.5 m mol/l
- smoking, men 50 years and older
women 55 years and older
![Page 23: Organizing the fight against cardiovascular disease in Tangshan and in the Netherlands](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070402/5681382c550346895d9fda1b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Making a risk profile of the following factors:
• Age• Sex• Smoking• Systolic blood pressure• Spectrum of lipids (TC, HDL, TC/HDL ratio, LDL, triglycerides)• Blood glucose • Family history• Nutrition• Alcohol• Physical activity• Body mass index (weight in kg / quadrate of length in meters)

Why should an hospital be interested in prevention ?
• First of all to keep the people as long as possible healthy;
• But also to build a referral network, which strengthen the position of the hospital in the area.
![Page 30: Organizing the fight against cardiovascular disease in Tangshan and in the Netherlands](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070402/5681382c550346895d9fda1b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Different types of prevention, characterized by target group, indication and situation:
- General population;- Groups, like children, elderly, etc;- Groups at risk like smokers; - Visitors of health facilities, like the general practitioner, the health centre, the hospital: = visitors with symptoms not related with vascular disease and risk; = visitors with symptoms related with risk factors, like high blood pressure, smoking etc; = visitors with symptoms of (beginning) cardiovascular disease.
![Page 31: Organizing the fight against cardiovascular disease in Tangshan and in the Netherlands](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070402/5681382c550346895d9fda1b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Possible prevention within the hospital:
• At the departments for cardiology, nephrology, pulmonology and neurology recovering patients could be helped (referred to a supporting program) to quit smoking;
• Smoking in the hospital itself could be reduced.
![Page 32: Organizing the fight against cardiovascular disease in Tangshan and in the Netherlands](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070402/5681382c550346895d9fda1b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Collaboration between public health service, general practitioner and hospital in the
Netherlands:
- Public health service (municipal health service): epidemiology and offering programs for groups; (facilitating) mass screening;
- General practitioner (GP): detection of patients at risk and referral;
- Hospital: support of the GP with laboratory facilities and in some cases treatment.
![Page 33: Organizing the fight against cardiovascular disease in Tangshan and in the Netherlands](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070402/5681382c550346895d9fda1b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Possible translation to the Tangshan preventive and curative heath care of CVD:
• The Tangshan public health bureau: epidemiology and planning of mass health promotion and screening;
• 20 health stations of the Tangshan Workers Hospital can play a role comparable with the Dutch GP-role;
• The hospital can support the 20 health stations in their diagnostic activities and treat some patients. It can be the centre of a collaboration network.
