Cardiovascular diseases are a menace to mankind

As the technology of the mankind is progressing, the world is changing its appearance every day. We have received some drawbacks in the process to making our life easier. As for our health, we have been attacked with some complications. Cardiovascular disease is one of them. It is the common medical term for the heart diseases. There are three main forms of cardiovascular diseases, coronary artery disease, stroke, and diabetes.

In coronary artery disease, the blood flow is blocked inside the arteries due to the deposition of plagues there. Excessive intake of cholesterol leads to the deposition of plagues. The blood is forced to pass through a narrow path causing a high blood pressure. This is called hypertension. The symptoms of coronary artery disease are chest pain, neck pain, shortness of breath, pain in other associated organs of the body.

There are three risk factors that must be changed. The most obvious of them is smoking. The smokers are more prone to cardiovascular disease than non-smokers. The other risk factor is inactivity. From moderate to vigorous exercise is one of few most effective tools to prevent the heart and artery diseases. The last one is obesity. We know that obese people have more weight than normal. This problem becomes more prominent with people above the age of 40 years.

The treatment of cardiovascular disease involves medications or surgery or both. There are some basic medications like aspirin, super aspirin, pain relievers, beta blockers etc. The medical science has invented some very effective methods of cardiovascular surgery like open heart surgery, heart transplantation, pediatric heart surgery etc.
