University Health Service Plan Report: Cardiovascular Disease Analysis

This report presents a health service plan focused on addressing cardiovascular disease in the U.S. population. It begins with an introduction highlighting the significance of cardiovascular disease as a leading cause of death and the need for a national public health plan. The report outlines the plan's objectives, including prevention, detection, and treatment of risk factors. It then details the environmental scan process, emphasizing the importance of stakeholder involvement and data collection. The demographic profile of the affected population is examined, followed by an analysis of health determinants and burden of disease data. Finally, the report includes morbidity and mortality data, providing statistical insights into the impact of cardiovascular disease. The report references key studies and data sources, including the prevalence rates in the U.S. population, the incidence of heart disease by age, and mortality rates. The report also includes a figure showing deaths due to cardiovascular disease in various age groups of the population of Australia. The report concludes by referencing key studies and data sources.

Introduction
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S population. Heart disease
and stroke contribute to the crisis in the heath care service. With increased burden and disparity,
the cardiovascular heart disease is ruling the U.S population. The population is largely affected
due to the lifestyle conditions like smoking and alcohol addiction. The economic costs of the
disease are increasing exponentially each year. Thus a National level public health care plan
must be conducted in order to prevent the disease. Cardiovascular disease risk factors hugely
depend on lifestyle conditions and are highly preventable. The plan will be justified to solve the
problems with the population. The purpose of the health care plan will address the prevention of
the risk factors, detection and treatment of the risk factors, early diagnosis. It will take a
comprehensive health care strategy plan.
Population based planning

3HEALTH SERVICE PLAN
Risk factors Heart diseases are mainly the consequence of
the antherosclerosis and high blood pressure or
hypertension. The distinct age, family history
and genetic factors are the main contributing
factors for the cardiovascular heart disease
(Saydah et al, 2014).

4HEALTH SERVICE PLAN
Environmental scan
The environmental scans must be made before
mapping out the systems and programs to be
conducted. The multiple facets of the health
care environment scan will include the persons
who will ask and answer the research
questions. A coordinator and team member
must be designated who will champion the
environmental scanning. There required 2
project leaders who will be expertise in public
health and cardiovascular control, experience
in policy, systems, assessments in the
populations, health communication. The
coordinator must be responsible for day to day
evaluation. The environment scan will require
the materials like the report of the statistics of
the cardiovascular disease in U.S.A. In a 1972
report from the inter-society commission for
heart disease is the resource of the policy
regarding the laws rules and regulations that
are to be followed with the national prevention
plan. Collection of the letters from the local
state partners will help for the gain of support.

Demographic profile of the selected
population
It has been reported that about approximately
16.3 million Americans aged 20 and older have
cardiovascular heart disease. It is found that the
prevalence for men is around 8.3% and for the
women is 6.1%. Data from Strong heart data
found the incidence of the heart disease is
maximum at the age between 45-74 (Bauer et
al, 2014).

6HEALTH SERVICE PLAN
Determinants of heath, burden of disease
data
The determinants of health and burden data
shows that mostly the low and middle class
families in the U.S populations are affected by
the disease. The national health care plan
strategy must be taken in such a way that is
feasible for the low resource settings (Prüss-
Üstün & Neira, 2016).

List for morbidity and mortality data
About 610,000 people death occurs by the
cardiovascular disease in United States.
Therefore, the morbidity rate follows that
cardiovascular disease is the reason of 1 in
every 4 deaths. Every year about 735,000
Americans suffers from this and experience
heart attack (Lal et al, 2017).
