Cardio metabolic diseases

Cardio metabolic diseases (CMDs) are the number-one cause of death in the world.They include cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure. CMDs are mainly caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, the major risk factors being physical inactivity, smoking and an unhealthy diet.

Heart disease

Heart and blood vessel disease (also called heart disease) includes numerous problems, many of which are related to a process called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition that develops when a substance called plaque builds up in the walls of the arteries. This build-up narrows the arteries, making it harder for blood to flow through. If a blood clot forms, it can block the blood flow. This can cause a heart attack or stroke.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a general term for conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels. It's usually associated with a build-up of fatty deposits inside the arteries (atherosclerosis) and an increased risk of blood clots.

Major risk factors that can't be changed

• Increasing Age. The majority of people who die of coronary heart disease are 65 or older.
• Heredity (including race)
• Tobacco smoke
• High blood cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Physical inactivity
• Obesity and being overweight

Some common tests to diagnose cardiovascular disease include: Blood work measures substances in blood that indicate cardiovascular health, such as cholesterol and specific proteins. Electrocardiogram (EKG) records the electrical activity in your heart.

Heart Attack

A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked by a blood clot. If this clot cuts off the blood flow completely, the part of the heart muscle supplied by that artery begins to die. Most people survive their first heart attack and return to their normal lives, enjoying many more years of productive activity. But experiencing a heart attack does mean that you need to make some changes. The medications and lifestyle changes that your doctor recommends may vary according to how badly your heart was damaged, and to what degree of heart disease caused the heart attack.
