Cardiovascular disease is a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. It includes problems like narrowed arteries, heart attacks, heart failure, and irregular heartbeats. Because the heart and blood vessels supply the whole body, these conditions are serious, but many can be managed well with the right care and healthy habits.
Signs depend on the condition and may include chest discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs, a racing or irregular heartbeat, or dizziness. Some people have few symptoms until a problem becomes advanced. Common causes and risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, being less active, and family history. Age and genetics also play a part, so risk builds from many factors over time.
