Methods: This study was conducted with the objective of exploring the prevalence of CVDs in district Buner, KP, Pakistan from September 2022 to September 2023. A total of 850 patients’ data were recorded from different hospitals inhibiting in district Buner through specifically designed questionnaire with the help of already available literature on the topic.

Conclusion: This study also reported that patients with CVDs represent 58% male whereas the remaining 42% were female. Most of the people affected by CVDs were having age 61-70 years accounting for 494 (58.15%) patients. The most affected Tehsil was Daggar, with 270 (31.80%) patients, and the rarest cases were reported in Tehsil Khudokhail, with 19 (2.23%) patients. The ultimate reason for this prevalence of CVDs may be due todiabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol level, and sedentary life style
