cardiovascular problems

Cardiovascular problems involve the heart and blood vessels, affecting how blood circulates oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Common issues include blockages in arteries, such as in coronary artery disease, which can lead to heart attacks. Other problems like high blood pressure strain the heart, weakening it over time. Conditions like arrhythmias disrupt normal heart rhythms. Factors such as unhealthy diets, lack of exercise, smoking, and genetics can increase risk. Managing these problems involves lifestyle changes, medication, and sometimes procedures to restore healthy blood flow, helping prevent serious complications and maintain overall heart health.
