Theprevalence of cardiovascular disease has been associated with many management challenges forthe health care sector due to the high rate of mortality and morbidity associated with thediagnosis of the condition.

Nearly one in every seven men and one in every twelve women die fromCHD in UK and the number of deaths annually is about 66,000 (Bhf.org.uk, 2016). UKgovernment is also dealing with the rise in deaths from CHD and the number of people livingwith the condition and implemented many intervention and preventive programs to reduce therate of CHD. Due to such statistics on incidence of CHD in UK, it is necessary to evaluatepreventive work done for CHD in UK by linking it with appropriate management theories,leadership framework and management of change.
