The group of disorders that you are referring to is known as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).
CVDs are a class of diseases that involve the heart and blood vessels, and they can include conditions such as coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, and many others. These diseases are typically caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, smoking, poor diet, and lack of physical activity.
Coronary heart disease is a specific type of CVD that occurs when plaque builds up in the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. This can cause a narrowing or blockage of the arteries, which can lead to chest pain, heart attack, and other complications.
Prevention and management of CVDs typically involve lifestyle modifications, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, not smoking, and managing other underlying health conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Medications and medical procedures may also be necessary in some cases.
