Cardiovascular Disease Biospecimens
What exactly are cardiovascular diseases
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to a cluster of ailments that affect the structure and functions of the heart and blood vessels. It is also commonly referred to as cardiac problems or illnesses. The primary cause of developing cardiovascular system disorders is the partial or complete blockage of blood vessels, resulting in reduced blood flow to the heart muscles. CVD is one of the most prevalent health issues that affect people globally and has been for a long time. Furthermore, it significantly contributes to severe medical emergencies requiring hospitalization and admission to intensive care units.
Common cardiovascular diseases:
Some of the most common cardiovascular diseases include coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral arterial disease (PAD), aortic disease, and heart valve problems. Despite advances in medical treatments, these diseases continue to be a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Adopting a healthy lifestyle and understanding the disease and its risk factors are important to prevent these conditions from developing.
Risk factors for cardiovascular diseases:
To prevent or treat signs of heart problems, the following risk factors must be managed through dietary adjustments and medical treatment.
-
High blood pressure: Over time, damage to the heart and blood vessels may result from high blood pressure's additional strain on them.
-
High cholesterol levels: High blood cholesterol levels can clog arteries with plaque (Atherosclerosis), reducing blood flow and increasing the risk of heart disease.
-
Tobacco Smoking: Due to blood vessel damage, elevated blood pressure, and an increased risk of blood clots, smoking can make the cardiovascular disease worse.
-
Diabetes mellitus: Long-term high blood sugar levels can damage nerves and blood vessels. Therefore, people with diabetes are more likely to develop heart disease.
-
Obesity: Being overweight or obesity puts more strain on the heart and increases the risk of developing conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes.
-
Lack of exercise: A sedentary lifestyle and inactivity can raise your risk of becoming overweight, developing high blood pressure, and developing other heart disease risk factors.
-
Unhealthy diet: The risk of developing cardiovascular disease can be raised by consuming a diet that is high in salt, added sugars, and saturated and trans fats.
-
Family history: Your risk of developing heart disease may be higher if a close relative has the condition.
