2CONTEMPORARY THEMES IN HEALTH CARE LEVEL 6IntroductionThe mortality and mortality associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasingglobally. CVD is regarded as the number 1 cause of death globally. The review of latest 2015global CVD death statistics suggest about 17.7 million death caused due to CVD. This meansthat CVD was the reason for about 31% of global death. CVD is an umbrella term for differenttypes of heart disease and coronary heart disease is one of the major type of CVD, which hascaused about 7.4 million deaths in 2015 (World Health Organization 2015). Hence, from thisstatistics, it is understood that coronary heart disease (CHD) significantly contributes to totaldeaths globally. The CVD related deaths caused in UK is also alarming as latest reports haveshown that CVD causes more than 25% of all deaths in UK and about 7 million people are livingwith the disease in UK. Among CVDs, CHD has been found to be the leading cause of death inUK (Bhf.org.uk. 2016). Considering such prevalence of coronary heart disease in UK, the mainpurpose of this essay is to identify six articles related to the incidence and management ofCHD in UK and explore in depth about the ways in which the disease was managed. Thepaper also explores range of framework, policy approach and intervention that can be effective inreducing the risk of CHD in UK. After the evaluation of the articles, the paper also proposes arecommendation for the health care system of UK to reduce the incidence of CHD in UK. Argument/main body:To get an understanding about different management strategies and models orframeworks implemented in UK for the management of CHD in UK, six academic articles havebeen chosen for analysis. The summary of the six articles has been presented in this section.The first article by Bhatnagar et al. (2015) gives an insight about the prevalence rate of coronary

The prevalence of coronary heart disease is found the highestin North of England and Scotland. The articles also cover regional variations in mortality,prevalence and inpatient episodes related to CVD. The second article by Bernard, Lux and Lohr(2009)mainly covers the theme of different health care delivery models available in UK for themanagement heart diseases like CHD. The article mainly summarizes about CVD care deliverymodels starting from prevention work to palliative care and more detailed insight about care forCVD in prevention and primary care setting in UK. This article can be useful in understandingthe preventive and primary care practices that helped to identify unknown case of CHD in UK. In relation to government policies for the management of risk factors related to CHD, twoarticles has been found to cover in details about policies related to heart disease prevention. Thethird article by Levy and Tedstone (2017, February)covers the theme of UK dietary policies forprevention of heart disease. From the review of this article, the UK government recommendationin relation to energy intake, salt intake, fruits and vegetable consumption, saturated fatconsumption and level of oily fish and fiber needed for citizens is covered. The dietary advicehas been integrated with Eatwell guide to support people to understand proper diet needed toimprove health and cardiovascular health. In addition, the fourth article by Collins et al. (2014)provides detail insight related to implication of salt reduction policies in reducing the prevalenceof coronary heart disease in England. The review of this evidence strengthens the idea about theway in which heart disease policy are modeled in UK and policy is analyzes by means of costeffectiveness analysis, uncertainty analysis and sensitivity analysis. The details related to cost effectiveness of population wide risk factor reductionprogramme targeting heart disease like CHD in England has been covered by Barton et al.
