Cardiovascular disease, also known as heart attack, is a very common disease in the world, especially in the United States. In fact, cardiovascular disease kills approximately 17 million people worldwide every year. Most of them are caused by heart attacks and strokes. Cardiovascular disease can be caused by tobacco use and even smoking, which also increases the risk of stroke. Another thing that can cause it is physical inactivity and also a bad or unhealthy diet, this will also lead, which is a very important risk factor that will increase a person's risk of cardiovascular disease. A heart attack can occur when there is a blood clot. Blood will flow to part of the heart and be blocked by a blood clot. When this happens, the clot will completely stop blood flow, and this will cause the part of the heart muscle supplied by that artery to begin to die. In most cases, many people survive a heart attack for the first time and begin to live as they did before and will be able to enjoy many more years of creative activity. But the thing is, that doesn't mean they lived well, it doesn't mean they can't have another one. Having a heart attack for the first time really means something, it's a sign that telling someone that their diet or the way they lived wasn't actually the best way. It means that person needs and needs to make some changes. That person needs to go to a doctor and the doctor will give him advice on medications and also a change in the way he lives. But it all depends on how badly that person's heart was injured and also the degree of heart disease that caused the heart attack. Furthermore, there are two types of stro...... middle of paper ......ily aspirin therapy; or they can be drugs to lower cholesterol, for example statins or fibrates. Finally, the last thing that can be done if the first two do not work is a medical procedure or surgery so that the doctor can eliminate the blockage in the heart. One of the processes they usually use is a process called coronary angioplasty. What they do is insert a catheter into one of the arteries in the patient's arm or groin, tie a small balloon to the patient's blocked artery, and finally inflate it so the artery can reopen. Sometimes, when if the condition is severe, you may need a more invasive process called coronary artery bypass surgery. In this process, a vein will be taken from another part of the patient's body, which in most cases is the patient's leg. It is used to bypass the blocked part of the artery.
