Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases are diseases of the heart and blood vessels, and are some of the leading causes of death in developed countries.
Common Cardiovascular Issues:
- Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack): Occurs when the coronary arteries, which provide nutrients and oxygen to the heart, become blocked, often by atherosclerotic plaques (cholesterol). This blockage causes cells to die.
- Stroke: Happens when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, typically by a blood clot.
