Cardiovascular disease burden is increasing in developing country like Bangladesh which is creating adverse effect to whole health system. A cross-sectional, descriptive study among the higher secondary students of Bangladesh was performed using convenience sampling to assess the student’s knowledge and perception of cardiovascular risk factors and prevention. Students had a good knowledgeable about cardiovascular risk factors but did not perceive themselves at risk for cardiovascular disease.
