ABSTRACT
Cardiovascular diseases are the largest risk factor for mortality in developed countries, and hospitals are facing an increasing workload in relation to cardiovascular diseases. In this regard, policymaking related to these diseases and based on epidemiological knowledge of the population can be a powerful means to prevent and treat them. The SALMANTICOR study was conceived in this context. This study had the purpose of collecting data concerning the prevalence and incidence of structural heart disease in the province of Salamanca (Spain). However, the amount of data and variables collected (more than 300), can make the understanding of the results cumbersome for non-experience users. This work overviews the design and architecture of a data visualization platform to support the exploration of the SALMANTICOR study results, with a special focus on conveying this information to lay users.
