Summary:The new Imperial era, Reiwa, started in May, 2019. After World War II, Reiwa is the third Imperial era following Showa and Heisei. In each era, we had specific healthcare problems in cardiovascular medicine and implemented preventive strategies against them. Furthermore, nationwide healthcare policies such as a universal healthcare insurance system (kaihoken) and health check-up system largely contribute to overcoming these problems. Here, we summarize the specific issues in cardiovascular medicine and nationwide strategies policies against them in each era. We also describe what we should do in the new Imperial era from the cardiovascular viewpoint.
