Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are, despite positive trends and recent treatment advances, still the most common cause of death in the Republic of Croatia, mostly due to coronary artery disease. Croatia has every right to pride itself on the fact that patients with coronary disease are provided with modern, up to date and high-quality care comparable to more developed countries and wealthier healthcare systems. At the same time, the cardiovascular care in certain regions of Croatia is not at this level due to geographical, financial, and personnel limitations.
