Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs, including coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease and other conditions) are the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives, or over 30% of deaths each year. More than four out of five CVD deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes, and one third of these deaths occur prematurely in people under 70 years of age.

A troponin test measures the level of troponin in your blood. Troponin is a type of protein found in the muscles of your heart, and it isn't normally found in the blood. When heart muscles become damaged, troponin is sent into the bloodstream. High levels of troponin in the blood may mean you are having or recently had a heart attack.
The most important behavioural risk factors of heart disease to control are unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use and harmful use of alcohol. Cessation of tobacco use, reduction of salt in the diet, eating more fruit and vegetables, regular physical activity and avoiding harmful use of alcohol have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
