The term “cardiovascular” refers to the system in the body that circulates blood and lymph through the heart and blood vessels, delivering oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to various cells and tissues, and removing waste products like carbon dioxide. This system is crucial for maintaining homeostasis and supporting the body’s metabolic demands. The heart, a muscular organ, pumps blood through a complex network of arteries, veins, and capillaries. Cardiovascular health is vital for overall well-being, and diseases related to this system, such as heart attacks, strokes, and hypertension, are among the leading causes of death worldwide. Prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases involve lifestyle choices like diet, exercise, and avoiding tobacco, as well as medical interventions including medications and surgeries, depending on the severity and nature of the condition.
