The general term "cardiovascular disease," or CVD for short, refers to a broad range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. These abnormalities can lead to a variety of health issues, including heart attacks, strokes, and other ailments related to the cardiovascular system. Among the common cardiovascular diseases are coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, heart failure, and hypertension (high blood pressure). These disorders may lead to the accumulation of plaque, or fatty deposits, in the arteries, obstructing blood flow to the heart and other areas of the body. Globally, cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of illness and mortality. Cardiovascular disease can only be prevented or treated by managing risk factors such high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle.
