Table 1. Summary of strategies included.

Strategy	Description	References
Supportive environment
Salt reduction in processed food	Voluntary reformulation of processed food reduces their sodium content by 10% over 4 years, and subsequently population-level blood pressure levels and CVD risk.	[21–27]
Improving physical activity	Building physical environment supportive of active lifestyle and increasing awareness through social marketing campaigns reduces the proportion of inactive adults by 5% each, and associated CVD risks.	[28–30]
Reducing smoking prevalence	Intensified anti-smoking efforts, including increasing prices, standardising pack sizes, and continuous social marketing campaigns, further drive down the smoking prevalence to approximately 6% in 20 years.	[31, 32]
Response to acute CVD
National public access defibrillator program	An optimally implemented national public access defibrillator program can reduce chances of deaths after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by 50%.	[33–36]
Reducing pre-hospital delay	Reducing pre-hospital delay to a target level of 2 hours lowers chances of deaths after acute CVD by 20%.	[37]
Preventive medications and treatments
Prescription of preventive medications	Raising public awareness and supporting primary care physicians can increase the proportion of eligible adults (as indicated by absolute CVD risk and previous CVD) that receive blood-pressure and lipid lowering medications by 5 to 10%	[38–40]
Adherence to preventive medications	Raising public awareness and supporting primary care physicians can increase adherence to blood-pressure and lipid lowering medications by 10 to 20%	[38–40]
Cardiac rehabilitation program	Increasing referral, attendance, and completion of cardiac rehabilitation programs by 15 to 30% lowers risks of recurrent myocardial infarction.	[41–43]
