Cardiovascular diseases exact a major toll in both developed and developing countries in terms of death, ill health, and premature incapacitation. This presentation concerns itself with the economic cost--expressed in terms of years of economically active life lost to premature mortality--imposed by cardiovascular diseases in relatively developed and undeveloped regions of Brazil.
心血管疾病在发达国家和发展中国家都造成了巨大的死亡、健康问题和过早丧失劳动能力的代价。本报告关注的是巴西相对发达和欠发达地区心血管疾病所带来的经济成本，这一成本以因过早死亡而损失的经济活跃年限来衡量。
