Coronary Vascular Disease
Coronary Vascular Disease (CVD) is a condition that affects the blood vessels of the heart, resulting in reduced blood flow to the heart. It is the most common form of cardiovascular disease and is the leading cause of death for both men and women worldwide. CVD is typically caused by atherosclerosis, the buildup of cholesterol plaques in the arteries that supply blood to the heart, leading to blockage and narrowing of the arteries. This can cause chest pain (angina), heart attack, heart failure, and death. Treatment of CVD includes lifestyle modifications such as healthy diet and exercise, medications, and in some cases, surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to preventing CVD-related complications and death.
