CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

Cardiovascular disease is a broad term

These problems are often due to atherosclerosis

If an artery becomes blocked, this can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

This condition occurs when fat and cholesterol accumulate on the walls of the blood vessel.This accumulation is called plaque.

Diseases with more frequencies

Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle becomes stiff or weak. It cannot pump enough oxygenated blood, which causes symptoms throughout the body.

Arrhythmias are problems with your heart rate (pulse) or heart rhythm. This occurs when the heart's electrical system is not working properly.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of heart disease and occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries leading to the heart.

More people die from cardiovascular disease (CVD) each year than from any other cause

Risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increased by unhealthy eating

People who don't get enough physical activity are 20% to 30% more likely to die prematurely than those who get enough physical activity.
