Hypertension is frequently a result of both arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis‚ and can lead to more serious CVDs‚ such as angina attack (an acute and squeezing chest pain due to inefficient blood flow to the heart)‚ and myocardial infarction( the sudden death of part of the heart muscle). A stroke is a CVD that occurs when there is in inadequate oxygen flow to the brain. An abnormally high or abnormally low heart rate because of the disruption of the natural electric impulses of

Manifestations of CVD: • Angina Pectoris: possible areas of radiating pain: neck‚ jaw‚ upper abdomen‚ shoulders and arms • Myocardial Infarction: heart attack. Can be prevented by taking low doses of aspirin • Stroke: Occurs when brain is starved of oxygen due to pieces of plaque braking free and causing clots.

If the heart’s blood supply is cut off‚ the result is a heart attack‚ or myocardial infarction. For this reason‚ high serum cholesterol is a primary factor contributing to the increased risk of heart attacks.2 Both diet and genetics are important factors affecting cholesterol levels.
