Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a general term that describes any disorder of the heart or blood vessels, including conditions such as high blood pressure, stroke, coronary artery disease, heart defects, and atherosclerosis. CVD is the leading cause of death in many countries, and its prevalence is on the rise due to changing lifestyles and an aging population. CVD is a major public health concern, as it accounts for a large proportion of deaths and increases the risk of disability and other chronic diseases. Effective management of cardiovascular disease requires the implementation of lifestyle and pharmacological interventions, along with regular monitoring and evaluation for early detection of recurrence or progression. CVD is thus a major target of preventive health measures and active medical management in order to reduce mortality, morbidity, and disability rates.
