title: [Present cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Croatia].
abstract: Individual clinical and/or epidemiological studies on the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in Croatia are described. The studies based on regional approach and distribution are specially analyzed, with a note that there have been only few such studies from the highland parts of Croatia. An overview of several studies dealing with the influence of region, air pollution, and specific mortality due to cardiovascular diseases is also presented. An overview of available literature sources from international tertiary databases and National University Library is provided.
