    Open AccessSamer Rastam, Radwan Al Ali et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

Treatments for CHD were able to prevent about a quarter of excess CHD deaths, despite suboptimal implementation. These findings stress the importance of population-based primary prevention strategies targeting major risk factors for CHD, as well as policies aimed at improving access and adherence to modern treatments of CHD
