Cardiovascular disease as global problem :Cardiovascular diseases is one of the leading causes of death throughout the world and it isprominent hurdle for the sustainable development of human being. In 2011, United Nationsofficially identified it as global health issue and proposed plan to reduce effect of this globalhealth issue in all regions. Third Sustainable Global Development (SGD) identifiedimportance to implement control measures of CVD and targeted to reduce it to one-third ofthe total affected population. Data for the CVDs used to be collected through death certificates, verbal autopsy, healthsurveys, prospective cohort studies, health system administrative data and health registers.Global burden of CVDs is more and it is being increasing because of its complex nature andmultiple causes. Its causes include ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke, atrial fibrillation,peripheral arterial disease, aortic aneurysm, cardiomyopathy and myocarditis, hypertensiveheart disease, endocarditis and rheumatic heart disease. Other cause of CVDs includesmaternal, neonatal and nutritional disorders. It has been observed that prevalence of CVDs ismore in male as compared to the female. In 2015, global death due to CVDs estimated to be17921047, 9419637 and 8501409 for total population, males and females respectively in allthe age group people. Age standardised deaths due to CVDs were found to be 286, 242 and335 per 100000 population in total population, female and male population respectively.Following are the representative countries with lower level prevalence – Singapore, Japan,South Korea; middle level prevalence – United states and United Arab Emirates; and highest-level prevalence – West Africa, Iran, Oman. From 1990 – 2015, it has been estimated thatthere was no significant change in the prevalence of CVDs. This might be due to theunavailability of the data (Roth et al., 2017). Health framework:Determinants of health framework can be identified by application of different strategies likeliterature mining strategy, qualitative analysis of discourse, data visualisation of historicaltrends and computational methods for network-based discovery. Literature mining strategyused PubMed / MEDLINE database which are the most widely used database for biomedicalliterature. Qualitative analysis of discourse includes data-retrieval processes and naturallanguage processing for collecting data from the large databases. Data visualization ofhistorical trends include collection of data from the historical documents related to the socialdeterminants of cardiovascular disease. This data should be from the pervious thirty years. In2
