Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) stands as a pervasive global health concern, claiming millions of lives annually and burdening healthcare systems. This article delves into the intricate tapestry of CVD by exploring its causes, impact, and prevention strategies. The causes range from atherosclerosis and hypertension to genetic predispositions and unhealthy lifestyle choices. CVD not only impacts individual health but also imposes a substantial economic burden and societal ramifications, exacerbated by disparities in healthcare access. Prevention and management involve lifestyle modifications, medical interventions, public health initiatives, and ongoing research. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach to mitigate the prevalence and consequences of cardiovascular disease, envisioning a healthier and more resilient global population.
