Cardiovascular Disease Risk
? Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is a group of diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels, including conditions such as coronary heart disease, stroke, and hypertension. CVD is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, making it vitally important to assess and reduce risk factors. Factors that may increase CVD risk include smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. Managing these risk factors through lifestyle changes and medication can help to reduce the risk of developing CVD or developing it in the future.
