Summary
Cardiovascular diseases like heart attack and stroke are leading global causes of death. A new international foundation, SHE, and the CNIC model aim to advance cardiovascular research and management, ensuring accessible treatments.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Science
- Public Health
- Health Economics
Context:
- Myocardial infarction and brain infarction are leading global causes of death, with increasing prevalence.
- The high cost of cardiovascular disease treatment is a significant barrier in many regions.
- Existing research and funding models require innovative approaches to address these challenges.
Purpose:
- To establish an international foundation, "Science, Health and Education" (SHE), prioritizing cardiovascular health.
- To implement a novel research and funding model, the "Nacional Cardiovascular Research Center" (CNIC), in Spain.
- To promote cardiovascular health and disease management at both individual and population levels.
Summary:
- The SHE foundation and CNIC model utilize a public-private funding structure, excluding the pharmaceutical industry to prevent conflicts of interest.
- Research efforts focus on advancing cardiovascular health and disease management strategies.
- The CNIC serves as a scientific basis and pilot model for broader health and disease issues.
Impact:
- To improve cardiovascular health outcomes globally through enhanced research and accessible management strategies.
- To serve as a replicable model for addressing other critical health and disease areas.
- To reduce the economic burden associated with cardiovascular diseases by promoting efficient and conflict-free research and treatment approaches.

01:18Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

01:25Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.

01:30Primary Healthcare Services
Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

01:26Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

01:29Concepts of Health and Illness
Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...
01:26Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
