Nutrition & Cardiovascular Health

Cardiovascular disease is a class of diseases that include the heart or blood capillaries. Cardiovascular disease involves coronary artery diseases (CAD) such as angina and myocardial infarction (commonly known as a heart attack). Other cardiovascular diseases include hemorrhage, heart failure, hypertensive heart attack, rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart arrhythmia, congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, carditis, aortic aneurysms, peripheral artery disease, thromboembolic disease, and venous thrombosis. The underlying mechanisms modify depending on the disease to the enigma. Coronary artery disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease include atherosclerosis. This may be prompted by high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, lack of exercise, obesity, high blood cholesterol, poor diet, and excessive alcohol consumption, and others factors.
