This paper examines the need for government investment in research for better treatments and preventive measures to combat the rising prevalence of CVD. The American Health Association's data indicates a concerning increase in deaths due to cardiac arrest, highlighting the urgent need for effective strategies. Lifestyle factors, genetic predisposition, and underlying conditions contribute to the development of CVD. Treatment methods range from medication to surgical interventions, while lifestyle changes play a crucial role in prevention. Recent advancements in cardiac disease research, including gene therapy and diagnostic tools, offer promising treatment options. However, the research process faces economic challenges that require substantial financial resources. Securing funding through government support, partnerships, and philanthropic endeavors can alleviate these obstacles. Implementing preventive measures presents its own challenges, including changing behaviors and overcoming industry resistance. Public health campaigns and education programs can foster a culture of prevention. A comprehensive approach is necessary, emphasizing both research for better treatments and preventive measures. Governments must allocate increased funding, collaborate with stakeholders, and implement policies that promote healthy behaviors. Striking a balance between treatment and prevention is key to reducing the prevalence of cardiovascular disease and improving overall population health.", keywords = "cardiovascular disease, cardiac arrest, mortality, research, preventive measures, treatment, burden, lifestyle factors, genetic predisposition, unhealthy habits, treatment methods, medications, surgical interventions, medical devices, lifestyle changes, advancements, gene therapy, stem cell therapy, tissue engineering, diagnostic tools, economic challenges, funding, partnerships, preventive measures challenges, behavior change, policies, public health campaigns, education programs, comprehensive approach", author = "Tridhaman Batra Walia", year = "2023", language = "English", url = "https://dapp.orvium.io/deposits/6457f25d0c702211080f579e/view", }
