Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is any disease involving the heart or blood vessels. [3] CVDs constitute a class of diseases that includes: coronary artery diseases (e.g. angina, heart attack), heart failure, hypertensive heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, carditis, aortic aneurysms, peripheral artery disease ...
The circulatory system is a system of organs that includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood which is circulated throughout the entire body of a human or other vertebrate. [1][2] It includes the cardiovascular system, or vascular system, that consists of the heart and blood vessels (from Greek kardia meaning heart, and from Latin vascula ...
Vascular disease is a class of diseases of the vessels of the circulatory system in the body, including blood vessels – the arteries and veins, and the lymphatic vessels.

Ectopic beat (cardiac ectopy) Ectopic pacemaker (Ectopic focus) First-degree atrioventricular block (First-degree AV block, PR prolongation) Heart block. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia. Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome. Junctional escape beat.
Researchers — who analyzed heart condition and circulatory disease data from more than 83,000 adults in the U.K. using smartwatch-style wearables — noted that for every extra 30 minutes spent ...
Coronary artery disease (CAD), also called coronary heart disease (CHD), or ischemic heart disease (IHD), [13] is a type of heart disease involving the reduction of blood flow to the cardiac muscle due to build-up of atherosclerotic plaque in the arteries of the heart. [5][6][14] It is the most common of the cardiovascular diseases. [15]
Heart failure (HF), also known as congestive heart failure (CHF), is a syndrome caused by an impairment in the heart 's ability to fill with and pump blood. Although symptoms vary based on which side of the heart is affected, HF typically presents with shortness of breath, excessive fatigue, and bilateral leg swelling. [3]
