Cardiovascular Diseases Major Mortality Factor in Modern Era

Cardiovascular diseases CVD is the disease of heart and blood vessels which include mainly coronary artery disease CAD , angina pectoris and myocardial infarction Heart attack . CVD also include stroke, heart failure, hypertensive heart diseases, rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, abnormal heart rhythms, congenital heart disease, valvular heart diseases, carditis, arotic aneursysms, peripheral artery disease, thromboembolic disease, venous thrombosis. But most of the people die due to coronary artery diseases which is due to Atherosclerosis caused by the accumulation of fat in the inner wall of the large and intermediate artery called atheromatous so it prevent from blood flow that leads to blockage. Today it is biggest reason of increase the mortality rate of people worldwide. Some important factor responsible for CVD are Physical inactivity, Food habit, Alcohol consumption and smoking. All these factors cause high level of plasma triglycerides, low level of HDL high density lipoprotein and LDL low density lipoprotein , higher amount of cholesterol deposition in artery. Deposition of cholesterol in artery causes endothelial dysfunction, myocardial infraction, alters insulin sensitivity, blood lipid and lipoprotein profile, body composition, systemic inflammation, increase blood pressure, decreases functional capacity of heart, weakening of the heart muscles which lead to cardiomyopathy and sudden heart failure.
