Sažetak
Since cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are still the leading cause of mortality and morbidity, we have been attempting to increase our efforts to reduce their incidence. In everyday practice we implement cardiovascular (CV) prevention guidelines and educate patients on changing bad lifestyle habits and controling CV risk factors. However, all of that is insufficient without the support of the whole society and public policies. So the question must be asked: what else can we do and how should we act? The example of the Netherlands is used to point out activities, initiatives, associations, and also reforms that have been successful in reducing CV mortality and morbidity.
