] published in Atherosclerosis.” 1. According to Navarese et al., cardiovascular disease is one of the major health
risks for the conflict-affected Ukrainian population due to significant limitations
in access to health care and disruptions in the supply of medicines and resources,

of viral illness and chronic disease states, is bound to increase exponentially from
poorly treated on communicable diseases [

- PreviewThe healthcare system of Ukraine was already suffering from several shortfalls before February 2022, but the war of aggression started by the Russian leadership is poised to inflict a further severe blow that will have long-lasting consequences for the health of all Ukrainians. In pre-war Ukraine, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) contributed to 91% of deaths, especially cardiovascular diseases (67%). Ukrainians have a high prevalence of risk factors for NCDs ranking among the highest levels reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the European (EU) Region.
