Significance of Cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease encompasses a range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. It is a leading cause of mortality globally, influenced by factors like lifestyle, genetics, and environmental exposures. Various disciplines acknowledge its significance, linking it to conditions like diabetes, obesity, and mental health disorders. Research explores preventative measures, treatments, and the impact of factors like diet, exercise, and air quality on cardiovascular health.
