Abstract

The Asia-Pacific region has experienced a significant rise in cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence, making it crucial for healthcare professionals to stay abreast of the latest trends in CVD management. This paper explores the evolving strategies and advancements in CVD prevention and treatment within the Asia-Pacific region. We begin by highlighting the epidemiological landscape, emphasizing the growing burden of CVD in the region. Subsequently, we discuss the integration of traditional and complementary medicine in the management of CVD, emphasizing the importance of culturally relevant approaches. The paper further delves into the role of telemedicine in enhancing access to CVD care, particularly in remote and underserved areas. Additionally, we explore the impact of lifestyle modifications and the adoption of evidence-based guidelines on CVD outcomes. The paper concludes with a call for research to further refine the management strategies in the region, tailored to the diverse cultural and economic backgrounds.
