ardiovascular disease refers to any illness that affects the heart or veins. Angina and myocardial infarction are examples of coronary artery diseases (heart attack). Stroke, cardiovascular collapse, hypertensive coronary disease, rheumatic coronary disease, cardiomyopathy, heart arrhythmia, valvular heart disease, carditis, aortic aneurysms, fringe vein infection, thromboembolic illness, and venous thrombosis are some of the other CVDs. Cardiovascular illnesses continue to be the leading cause of death worldwide. This is the case throughout the planet, except for Africa. Heart disease is the country's biggest cause of death. Women account for nearly half of all cardiovascular fatalities each year, and 43% of women, compared to 24% of males, will die within a year of having a heart attack (Department of Health, Texas University). CVDs claim 17.9 million lives each year, accounting for approximately 31% of all fatalities worldwide. Over 75% of deaths from CVD occur in low- and middle-income nations.
