Abstract：Cardiovascular disease represents a major medical challenge in contemporary society.The concept of Ideal Cardiovascular Health(ICVH)was introduced by the American Heart Association(AHA)in 2010,aimed at enhancing public health levels and addressing this challenge.Since the inception of the ICVH concept,despite improvements in ICVH levels globally,numerous challenges remain in achieving ideal cardiovascular health.In 2022,the AHA introduced a new assessment algorithm,"Life's Essential 8"(LE8),for a more precise evaluation of cardiovascular health.This review delves into various key aspects of ICVH,including its components,its relationship with cardiovascular disease risk and the strategies to promote ICVH so as to provide a comprehensive perspective to assist the public in enhancing cardiovascular health and to strive towards reducing the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
