Abstract

Annually, cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for over 20.5 million fatalities globally, representing one-third of all deaths.1 Notably, coronary artery diseases claim the lives of 3.8 million men and 3.4 million women each year. Moreover, ∼15 million individuals worldwide experience a cerebrovascular accident (stroke), resulting in 5.8 million fatalities each year.2 In the Netherlands for instance, an estimated 730 000 individuals (4% of the population) encounter cardiovascular incidents related to coronary heart disease annually, with 120 000 individuals experiencing heart failure and 260 000 individuals suffering from atrial fibrillation.3 This underscores the pressing need for effective diagnosis and treatment of CVDs.
