While there has been considerable improvement in cardiovascular disease prevention around the world, it has been inconsistent and insufficient, particularly in low- and middle-income nations. Tobacco use, problematic alcohol use, poor diets, and physical inactivity are all key behavioural drivers of cardiovascular disease, and voluntary worldwide targets have helped to focus attention, resources, and accountability on them. Many constraints and hurdles continue to stymie advances in cardiovascular prevention. The inclusion of noncommunicable illnesses as a priority in the Sustainable Development Agenda offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to accelerate global cardiovascular prevention advances. This strategy will need to provide leadership for intersectoral policy coherence, propose effective strategies to address commercial determinants of behavioural risk factors, use rights-based arguments, improve public participation, and assure openness. The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals have a truly global vision of shared responsibilities. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance for everyone to improve their health and well-being, especially their cardiovascular health.
