Background. Atherosclerosis, a major cause of cardiovascular disease, has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality in Kazakhstan. The increasing burden of this disease, combined with a high prevalence of dyslipidemia, underscores the importance of effective screening to reduce associated health risks. The aim of this study is to evaluate the social efficiency of implementing a nationwide atherosclerosis screening program in Kazakhstan and to assess its potential to improve public health outcomes and reduce mortality from cardiovascular disease.
Methods. A literature review was conducted, and global screening approaches and protocols for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease were analyzed for their applicability in the local context.
Results. Results suggest that targeted and cascade screening programs, particularly those focused on high-risk individuals and familial hypercholesterolemia, are effective in reducing disease incidence and mortality. Implementation of similar protocols in Kazakhstan could improve early detection, allowing for preventive interventions and treatment. The study concludes that a structured, government-sponsored screening program would not only save lives but also provide substantial economic benefits by reducing long-term health care costs associated with cardiovascular complications.
Conclusion. Screening is the convenient and economically efficient way to prevent atherosclerosis, and its effectiveness is demonstrated by worldwide practice and the history of early disease prevention. However, the effectiveness and social value of screening need to be demonstrated before it can be incorporated into medical practice. If established as a regular practice, widespread population screening could dramatically reduce cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide.
