Do you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, are you a smoker, a drinker, overweight and are you stressed? If your answer is “yes” to any of these, then you could be a ticking timebomb ……….
You might be unaware that you have cardiovascular disease until it’s too late and you are struck down by a heart attack, angina, stroke or heart failure.
Cardiovascular disease refers to both diseases of the heart (cardio) and the blood vessels (veins and arteries)that can lead to a heart attack, angina or stroke. Cardio vascular disease (CVD) is usually associated with a build-up of fatty plaque around the artery wall which makes the arteries become narrowed and hardened inhibiting blood flow through the arteries and the most common cause of cardiovascular disease, can be caused by an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, being overweight and smoking.
