Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and its
prevention and management depend largely on public awareness. Medical students are expected to
have a better understanding of CVD than non-medical students, little is known about the
comparative level of awareness between these two groups. This study aims to compare the
awareness of CVD among medical and non-medical students to identify the gaps in knowledge.
This cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 students, aged between 18-23 years; where
40.8% were male and 60.2% were female.
