What are the short and long term affects of cardiovascular disease?

  • I am doing a school project on cardiovascular disease and I need to know the short and long-term effects. I can't seem to find it on any website, except for Coronary heart disease and Coronary artery disease. I was also wondering if Coronary heart disease is the same as cardiovascular disease.

  • Answer:

    Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels and include: * Coronary heart disease – disease of the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle * Cerebrovascular disease - disease of the blood vessels supplying the brain * Peripheral arterial disease – disease of blood vessels supplying the arms and legs * Rheumatic heart disease – damage to the heart muscle and heart valves from rheumatic fever, caused by streptococcal bacteria * Congenital heart disease - malformations of heart structure existing at birth * Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism – blood clots in the leg veins, which can dislodge and move to the heart and lungs. Heart attacks and strokes are usually acute events and are mainly caused by a blockage that prevents blood from flowing to the heart or brain. The most common reason for this is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the blood vessels that supply the heart or brain. Strokes can also be caused by bleeding from a blood vessel in the brain or from blood clots.

Cardio vascular disease refers to the heart and main arteries which can become obstructed with fatty deposits. Coronary heart disease is restricted to the arteries that supply the heart muscle itself - It would be unusual to have one without the other. One of the short term effects of these conditions is coronary thrombosis (also called acute myocardial infarction or "heart attack". This can be fatal. Recovery depends on how quickly treatment is given (this includes the "clot busting" drugs.

Cardiovascular disease is a broad term. It covers both the vascular system and the heart. That's veins arteries valves and connecting tissue. Long term must include shorter lifespan however there are many people walking around with man made implants. The most noticeable thing is the scar down the breast bone and the ticking noise..

Coronary heart disease is classified as a cardiovascular disease as it is part of the heart.
