Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses a range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, primarily functioning to disrupt normal blood circulation and heart function. Key functions of CVD include the development of atherosclerosis, which narrows arteries due to plaque buildup, leading to reduced blood flow. This can result in conditions such as heart attacks and strokes, ultimately impairing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. Additionally, CVD can lead to heart failure, where the heart's ability to pump blood effectively is compromised.
