Cardiovascular events

Cardiovascular events refer to incidents involving the heart or blood vessels that can affect blood flow and overall health. Common examples include heart attacks, strokes, and episodes of chest pain or angina. These events often result from blockages or narrowing of arteries due to plaque buildup, leading to reduced oxygen supply to vital organs. Factors like high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, and diabetes increase risk. Prompt medical attention is crucial to prevent long-term damage or death. Managing risk factors through a healthy lifestyle and treatment can significantly reduce the likelihood of such events.
