Cardiovascular disease: it is one of the
deadliest silent killers of Americans. Nearly a
half million Americans lose their lives to this
disease each year.
Cardiovascular disease affects the heart
and/or blood vessels (arteries and veins) and
develops when cholesterol, fatty material, and
calcium build up in the arteries. When this
occurs in the arteries that supply the heart,
this build-up or plaque causes the arteries to
narrow, so that oxygen delivery to the heart is
reduced. The reduction in oxygen to the heart
can create chest pain, also called angina. This
can lead to very serious health problems.
