Medical Approach to Cardiovascular disease outcome strategy in England

The medical approach involves the focus on to reduce the morbidity as well as premature morality related to any disease (Dankner et al. 2018). As mentioned by Thomas (2015), medical approach to health promotion seeks to improve and increase the medical intervention to be taken that is going to prevent the premature and ill health among individuals. The medical approach to health promotion has three levels of intervention which are primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. The primary prevention refers to the medical intervention which has been taken to avoid the onset of the disease through risk education (Janssen et al. 2014). The primary prevention of medical approach to cardiovascular disease outcome strategy for England is encouraging reduction of smoking rates, reduction of obesity among individuals, lower hypertension, reducing intake of high fat-content food, develop healthy lifestyle and others. As mentioned by Bastien et al. (2014), obese individuals are prone to cardiovascular disease because of high rate of deposition of increased amount of fats in the blood vessels and artery, in turn, blocking the smooth from of blood from the heart. In 2014, nearly 62% individuals are reported to be obese who are living in England (www.gov.uk, 2017). Thus, the medical strategy of reducing obesity among the individuals through the adoption of healthy lifestyle is evident and effective mode for England for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. The smoking causes damage to the inner lining of the arteries leading to building up of fatty material in turn narrowing the artery. Thus, as a result blood flow gets blocked from the heart leading rise of cardiovascular diseases (Mons et al. 2015). In 2015, nearly 15.8% of individuals are found to smoke in England (digital.nhs.uk, 2017). Therefore, it can be seen that, there is increased affinity of smoking among the individuals in England. Thus, effective primary strategies such as education to inform about adversities of smoking, benefits of non-smoking activity and others are to be taken to encourage the individuals to reduce smoking for avoiding the risk of getting affected by the cardiovascular disease. The secondary prevention involves in medical approach of health promotion that includes use of prevention methods to avoid progression of the disease (Hays, 2018). As per Rubini et al. (2014), early and effective diagnosis of cardiovascular disease helps to take proper health intervention in reducing morbidity and premature mortality among the individuals. Thus, the cardiovascular disease outcome strategy taken by England is early screening and diagnostic opportunity of the disease through the use of improved medical technology that further increases opportunity to examine HDL and LDL level at the right time and others. The tertiary prevention which is third level of medical approach to health promotion includes reducing increased suffering and disability among the individuals, prevention of reoccurrence of the diseases through effective intervention (Ali and Katz, 2015). According to this level, the medical approach for cardiovascular disease outcome strategy in England requires effective palliative care, proper rehabilitation of patients, effective education and awareness among patient regarding the disease. Thus, according to the above discussion, the medical approach to reducing cardiovascular disease in England requires effective awareness about risk related to the disease, early diagnosis and effective care opportunity to manage and avoid recurrence of the disease.
