Web sites of important health organizations often provide fresh perspectives on cardiovascular diseases with respect to those offered by professional societies. The web site of the World Health Organization (WHO) is a prime example. WHO’s Programme on Cardiovascular Diseases includes various strategies aimed at the prevention, management, and monitoring of the disease at a global level, and these are extensively described at www.who.int. The section on cardiovascular diseases is found under Health Topics among the list of Noncommunicable Diseases, and can easily be accessed at www.who.int/ncd/cvd/index.htm...
