Over the past several decades, many outstanding studies on CVD and their behavioural, public health, economic and social aspects have been published and, nowadays, CVD still attracts much research attention.

This great number of articles are often not easy to read, even for a specialist reader, and usually are not available in Italian. In addition, most articles are published on journals and websites accessible by subscribers only, and you can read only the abstract or brief extracts from the full version.

Therefore, to facilitate access to relevant scientific literature, the Cuore Project website offers its visitors a selection of some articles, most of them focused on CVD prevention.  

Here below, the recommended publications are listed:

• Low Risk – and the “No More Than 50%” Myth/Dogma by J. Stamler. In In: Arch Intern Med, 2007, 167:537-539, Editorial.

• Sick individuals and sick populations by G. Rose. In: International Journal of Epidemiology 2001;30 (3):427-432.
