Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to lead global mortality rates, with coronary artery disease (CAD) being the most widespread form. CAD occurs when the coronary arteries, responsible for delivering oxygen-rich blood to the heart, become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup. This plaque, a mixture of cholesterol, fat, and other substances, gradually accumulates on artery walls. In severe cases, an acute rupture of this plaque can lead to a heart attack, with potentially life-threatening consequences.

Combating Cardiovascular Disease with Proactive Care

Underlying conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure) and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) are major contributors to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Often referred to as "silent killers," these conditions can develop unnoticed for years, particularly in aging populations, placing significant strain on the cardiovascular system and elevating the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
