Overview

The circulatory system is a series of structures and organs in the human body which transport blood, nutrients, and hormones around and between cells and tissues. Diseases of the circulatory system, also known as cardiovascular diseases, are medical conditions which affect the function, structure, and/or blood vessels of the circulatory system. These diseases can include conditions such as stroke, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, and congestive heart failure. Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of death in many parts of the world and can lead to disability, physical and emotional suffering, and reduced quality of life. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatments, such as lifestyle changes and/or medication, can help reduce the risk of developing a circulatory system disease.
