Abstract
Raised life expectancy of patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), due to continuous progress in drug treatment options and widespread use of innovate technologies, increase the burden of CVD on healthcare system. The development of human resources by highly qualified specialists is of fundamental importance. For the rational use of human resources to achieve the targets of federal project on the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, it is necessary not only to analyze the actual situation with medical staffing, but also the potential effects of staff shortages and imbalances on mortality. The review presents evidence of associations between staffing and quality of care and CVD outcomes.Keywords
