This report comprehensively examines coronary heart disease (CHD) within the context of international healthcare. It begins by identifying key risk factors for CHD, including high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and lifestyle factors. The report then delves into the aetiology, diagnosis, and management of CHD, including pharmacological interventions and lifestyle modifications. The impact of international, economic, environmental, and political issues on CHD diagnosis, prevalence, and management is explored, with a specific focus on the UK as a developed country. The report also compares the aetiology and prevalence of CHD in a developing country (India) and a developed country (UK), highlighting differences in risk factors and healthcare approaches. Finally, the strengths and limitations of global strategies implemented by organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) to address the global burden of CHD are analyzed, and the author reflects on their learning experience. The report covers a wide range of issues related to coronary heart disease and its impact on global healthcare.
