Did you know that cardiovascular disease is more prevalent than apple pie? Join us for this riveting dialogue as we tackle the broad and often daunting concept of cardiovascular disease, breaking it down to its very core. We'll illuminate how 'cardio', referring to our heart, and 'vascular', pertaining to our blood vessels, play a vital role in our survival and how this disease can threaten these crucial systems. We'll also spotlight the shocking stats, revealing cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of death both in the U.S and globally.
As we navigate the intricate labyrinth of cardiovascular disease, we'll uncover various conditions that fall under its umbrella. From the widely recognised coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease to the lesser-known arrhythmia and congenital heart defects, we explore the role of narrowed blood vessels and plaque formation in these conditions. We delve into the devastating effects of oxygen loss to our organs and peel back the layers on the significant genetic component of cardiovascular disease. Finally, we touch on the often-overlooked link between cardiovascular disease and mental health, stressing the importance of managing modifiable risk factors in our fight against this all-too-common disease. So tune in, and let's get to the heart of the matter.
