What is a cardiovascular disease?

Answer:
Cardiovascular disease is any disease which has to do with the heart and the blood vessels. The American Heart Association states that a cardiovascular disease (CVD) includes coronary heart disease (coronary artery disease, ischemic heart disease); stroke (brain attack); high blood pressure (hypertension); and rheumatic heart disease. There are about 80 million people in America who suffer from one or more forms of CVD. But trials and research indicate that we can reduce the risk for CVD simply by changing to a heart healthy lifestyle – appropriate diet, exercise and following a routine health care plan.
