Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to a group of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels. It involves various conditions that can impair the function of the heart or blood vessels, leading to complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and high blood pressure.
CVD can be influenced by various risk factors, including high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and a family history of heart disease. Prevention and management typically involve lifestyle changes (like diet and exercise), medication, and sometimes medical procedures or surgeries.
