A new Greek study highlights significant geographical inequalities in cardiovascular disease mortality rates across the country. The research indicates higher mortality from cardiovascular issues in Northern Greece. Simultaneously, the study reveals critical shortages of cardiologists within the Greek National Health System (ESY), particularly on the islands. These findings underscore a disparity in healthcare access and potentially contribute to the observed regional mortality differences. The lack of specialized cardiac care in certain areas poses a serious risk to patients. Researchers suggest addressing these inequalities is crucial for improving cardiovascular health outcomes nationwide, and ensuring equitable access to specialized medical professionals. The study emphasizes the urgent need for resource allocation and cardiologist recruitment in underserved regions.
