The data of epidemiology of the cardiovascular diseases in Europe published in EHJ shows that it is the first cause of death in men 39% and 47% in women. In Spain, the CVD mortality in 2018 was: 28.3%, of this 28.3%: 53.69% in women and 46.3% in men. Andalusia has a CVD mortality of 32%, being the first in mortality at Spain. If we can see the results from the European Society of Cardiology ESC-EORP EUROASPIRE V Registry, with 8 Spanish hospitals, a large majority of coronary patients have unhealthy lifestyles in terms of smoking, diet, and sedentary behavior. We believe that to improve these data, the prevention and cardiac rehabilitation programs play an important role, as well as the implantation of the Andalusian network of cardiac rehabilitation. At this point, I will review the situation of these programs in Spain and Andalusia.
