Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and health care costs in South Korea. The prevalence of preventable and treatable risk factors for CVD such as obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and smoking has continued to increase, despite improvements management of hypertension. Active leadership, participation, and support of professional organizations and medical institutions in national cardiovascular registries and regional treatment network have proven to be effective models to reduce the global burden of CVD in the Europe and North America. Regional treatment network systems for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction have established to coordinate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment centers, non-PCI treatment centers, and emergency centers especially across the Europe. The Act on the Prevention and Management of Cardio-cerebrovascular Disease was enacted in South Korea in 2017 to establish the legal frameworks and a comprehensive plan for the prevention and management CVD and risk factors. To fully achieve the goal of a National Health Plan for Cardiovascular Disease, it is necessary to embark on a nationwide registry project and to promote the regional acute treatment accessibility which can therefore play a key role in achieving the objectives of the 2017 Act. In this regard, the Korean Society of Cardiology advocates a national project for health promotion and cardiovascular prevention to improve cardiovascular outcomes, which includes the expansion and establishment of regional cardio-cerebrovascular centers (CCVCs) and new local CCVCs.

韩国预防和控制心血管疾病的国家卫生政策的实施：区域-地方心脑血管中心和全国登记处。

心血管疾病（CVD）仍然是韩国发病率、死亡率和医疗费用的主要原因。尽管高血压管理有所改善，但肥胖、高胆固醇血症和吸烟等可预防和可治疗的心血管疾病危险因素的患病率仍在持续增加。国家心血管登记和区域治疗网络中专业组织和医疗机构的积极领导、参与和支持已被证明是减轻欧洲和北美全球心血管疾病负担的有效模式。ST 段抬高型心肌梗死的区域治疗网络系统已经建立，以协调经皮冠状动脉介入治疗 (PCI) 治疗中心、非 PCI 治疗中心和急诊中心，尤其是整个欧洲。韩国于2017年颁布了《心脑血管疾病预防和管理法》，为预防和管理心血管疾病及其危险因素建立了法律框架和全面计划。为了全面实现《国家心血管病健康规划》的目标，有必要开展全国范围的登记项目，并促进区域急性治疗的可及性，这对实现2017年法案的目标发挥着关键作用。在这方面，韩国心脏病学会倡导一项国家健康促进和心血管预防项目，以改善心血管结果，其中包括扩大和建立区域心脑血管中心（CCVC）和新的地方CCVC。
