Disease of the heart and blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries).

a disease of the heart and the blood vessels - the system that conveys blood to and from all parts of the body, carrying nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and removing wastes and carbon dioxide. Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death.

Any condition having to do with the heart and blood vessels. Cardiovascular diseases include coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke and hardening of the arteries.

This term refers to various medical conditions that affect the heart and the blood vessels (arteries). These conditions include coronary artery disease, heart attack, myocardial infarction (MI), angina, congestive heart failure, hardening of the arteries, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease (hardening of the arteries in the legs, neck, etc).

Diseases affecting the heart or blood vessels.

A disease of the heart and blood vessels which causes more than half of the deaths each year in the U.S. Cardiovascular disease contributes to atherosclerosis, the clogging and closure of the arteries that feed the heart and brain, leading to heart attacks and strokes.

Any abnormal condition characterized by dysfunction of the heart and blood vessels. CVD includes atherosclerosis (especially coronary heart disease which can lead to heart attacks), cerebrovascular disease pertaining to the brain (e.g., stroke), and hypertension (high blood pressure). Such conditions can lead to the occurrence of dementia and cognitive impairment as well as various psychosocial issues.

A disease of the heart or circulation; such as coronary heart disease or stroke.

Any disease related to the heart and blood vessels thereof; coronary artery disease being most common.

A classification of diseases which affects the heart and its branches and/or the peripheral vascular system.

A general term for diseases of the heart and blood vessels, which can lead to heart attack or stroke. CVD includes coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease, and congenital cardiovascular defects.

Any disease that affects the heart and blood vessels, its components. Some examples are hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), high blood pressure (hypertension), heart attacks, heart failure, and stroke and TIA (transient ischemic attack).

may refer to any of the disorders that can affect the circulatory system, but often means coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure, and stroke, taken together.

Refers to diseases of the heart and diseases of the blood vessel system (arteries, capillaries, veins) within a person's entire body, such as the brain, legs, and lungs.

All diseases or lesions attacking the cardiovascular system: heart, blood vessels feeding the heart, arteries and veins in the whole heart and especially in the brain. Back

An all encompassing term used to describe all diseases and conditions involving the heart and blood vessels.

Disease of the heart or blood vessels. Includes heart attack, heart failure, high blood pressure and angina, among others.

All diseases of the circulatory system classified according to ICD-9 390-459. They include acute myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, valvular heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, arrhythmias, high blood pressure and stroke.

Any disorder that affects the heart muscle or the blood vessels of the heart. It includes any condition that impacts the blood vessels, such as poor circulation due to blockage.

Any abnormal condition caused by problems with the heart and blood vessels; it is the leading cause of death in the U.S.

Disease of the circulatory system.

Disease involving the heart and blood vessels.

Any disease of the heart or blood vessels (e.g. stroke, ischaemic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease). The major cause of death in developed countries. Also referred to as circulatory disease. ICD-9 Codes 390-459. ICD-10 Codes I00-I99.

(CVD) is the general term for disease to the heart and related blood vessels.

disease of the heart or vessels of the circulation.

A term for disease of the heart and blood vessels. Such diseases include peripheral vascular disease, narrowing or damage to the vessels in the arms, legs, and feet. Narrowing or damage to the vessels in the brain which can lead to stroke and other complications.

CVD, CVHD Any disease that involves the heart and blood vessels Includes heart attacks (both thrombic and hemorrhagic), angina, high blood pressure, heart value malfunction, atherosclerosis and rheumatic heart disease Includes strokes (both ischemic and thrombic) Is the number one cause of death in the world

Any abnormal condition of the heart or blood vessels. Cardiovascular disease includes coronary heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, congenital heart disease, endocarditis, and many other conditions.

disease of the heart and blood vessels, the most common form is coronary artery disease.

A common -- and serious -- complication of diabetes. Most people with diabetes ultimately die of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is a condition of the heart (cardio) and blood vessels (vascular) in which the arteries become narrowed by fatty, cholesterol-rich deposits known as atherosclerotic plaques. Once narrowed, circulation becomes impaired. The cells of the heart do not receive enough nourishment and oxygen to pump sufficient blood for the body's needs. Blood pressure rises, and the heart becomes fatigued. If an artery in the heart becomes completely blocked by atherosclerotic plaques, the blood supply to part of the heart gets cut off (coronary artery disease), and the result is a heart attack. If an artery in the brain becomes completely blocked by atherosclerotic plaques, blood supply to part of that organ gets cut off, and the result is a stroke.

Disease relating to the heart and blood vessels (CVD).

Diagnosing and treating the diseases of the heart and blood vessels.

any disease of the heart or blood vessels, including atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, and others.

Any of a diverse group of diseases characterized by the debilitation of the heart and/or blood vessels.

a disease of the heart or blood vessels.2

A general term meaning an aging heart and blood vessels that can lead to strokes and heart attacks.

According to the American Heart Association, the risk factors for cardiovascular disease are no longer just smoking, hypertension and high blood cholesterol, but also include "lack of exercise". Not only aerobic exercise such as walking, cycling, jogging and swimming is beneficial, but also resistance training has recently been added to the evidence as an important contributor to the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease.

diseases of the heart and circulatory system. These can include heart disease, atherosclerosis, peripheral arterial disease, and others.

A medical condition relating to the heart and the blood vessels or circulation.

Includes CHD (about 50%), stroke (about 25%), and other circulatory system diseases.

a general grouping of diseases of the heart and blood vessels.

Cardiovascular diseases are defined as diseases and injuries of the circulatory system: the heart, the blood vessels of the heart, and the system of blood vessels throughout the body and to (and in) the brain. Stroke is the result of a blood flow problem within, or leading to, the brain and is considered a form of cardiovascular disease.

Generic term that covers a wide range of vascular and heart-related diseases and disorders.
