What is Cardiovascular Disease?

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses a wide range of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. Common types of CVD include coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and congenital heart defects. The primary cause of CVD is often atherosclerosis, a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can lead to reduced blood flow and serious health complications like heart attacks and strokes.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a significant risk factor for CVD, contributing to the damage of arteries and the heart over time. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, poor diet, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol consumption also play a crucial role in the development of cardiovascular disease. Early detection and management of these risk factors, alongside medical intervention, are vital in preventing and treating CVD.
