Cardiovascular Diseases

Heart and blood vessel disorders are often referred to as cardiovascular disease. Damage to the arteries in several organs, including the kidneys, eyes, heart, and brain, can also be linked to it. A blockage that prevents blood from flowing to the heart or brain is the principal cause of heart attacks and strokes, which are typically sudden, acute events. The inner walls of the blood vessels that supply the heart or brain have a build-up of fatty deposits, which is the most frequent cause of this. About 60 to 100 times each minute, it beats with a steady, consistent pace. This occurs roughly 100,000 times daily. Your heart can occasionally become out of rhythm. Arrhythmia is the medical term for an abnormal or erratic heartbeat.
