Cardiovascular Disease and Congenital Malformations

Cardiovascular disease refers to a range of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, including heart attacks, strokes, and high blood pressure. These issues often arise from lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and genetics. Congenital malformations are structural problems in the heart or blood vessels present at birth, which can affect normal circulation. Both cardiovascular disease and congenital malformations can significantly impact health and may require medical intervention, lifestyle changes, or surgery to manage and mitigate their effects on daily life and overall well-being.
