AB Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading global cause of death, with 17 million attributable deaths each year. The World Health Organization estimates that CVD will kill >?23 million people annually by 2030. Normal results on electrocardiography (ECG) may not rule out the risk for CVDs, with patient history still being important in the screening for CVD.
