Cardiovascular Conditions

Meaning

Cardiovascular conditions refer to a broad category of disorders that involve the heart and the entire network of blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries. These conditions collectively represent a significant global health concern, encompassing diseases such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, stroke, and peripheral artery disease. The endocrine system exerts profound influence on cardiovascular health, as hormones regulate blood pressure, lipid metabolism, vascular tone, and cardiac remodeling. Maintaining hormonal equilibrium is therefore an integral component of preventing and managing these complex circulatory issues.
