Cardiovascular diseases, as the most common non-communicable disease in the world, cause a high mortality rate today and bring a serious medical burden to countries worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Experimental rodent models are widely used for cardiovascular diseases researches due to the effective simulation of human cardiovascular diseases, strong reproductive ability, and easy detection. Herein, we will summarize the pathological manifestations of common cardiovascular diseases and illustrate the establishment of corresponding experimental rodent models in detail.

The World Health Organisation and International Society of Hypertension (WHO/ISH) cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment charts have been implemented in many low- and middle-income countries as part of the WHO Package of Essential Non-Communicable Disease (PEN) Interventions for Primary Health Care in Low-Resource settings. Evaluation of the WHO/ISH cardiovascular risk charts and their use is a key priority and since they only exist in paper or PDF formats, we developed a simple R implementation of the charts for all epidemiological subregions of the world. The main strengths of this implementation are that it is built in a free, open-source, coding language with simple syntax, can be modified by the user, and can be used with a standard computer.

With approximately 80% of non-communicable disease (NCD) mortality occurring in low- and middle-income countries, and a prevalence expected to continue trending upwards, this chapter lays out the essential information on the burden of NCDs and their importance in humanitarian settings. It outlines the general principles of NCDs, including their widespread prevalence and contribution to preventable morbidity and premature mortality. It provides specific guidance for the clinical recognition and care of the main NCDs (cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes, thyroid disease, haemoglobinopathies, and renal disease), including management guidance which recognize the realities and often limited resources in the field.
