Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to a group of diseases that affect the blood vessels or the heart. CVDs include coronary artery diseases (CADs) such as myocardial infarction and angina. A few other CVDs include thromboembolic disease, abnormal heart rhythms, venous thrombosis, heart failure, valvular heart disease, hypertensive heart disease and peripheral artery disease. These diseases can be diagnosed through a variety of techniques, such as blood tests, chest X-ray and EEG. They can also be diagnosed through CT scans, MRI scans and cardiac catheterization. CVDs can be treated by introducing major lifestyle and dietary changes such as exercising, limiting alcohol consumption, eating healthy, avoiding tobacco smoke and making lifestyle changes. These preventative measures are also effective in treating other risk factors including diabetes, high blood pressure and blood lipids. Since influenza increases the likelihood of CVDs; administering influenza vaccination can help in reducing the chances of cardiovascular events. This book provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of cardiovascular diseases and the latest advances with respect to their diagnosis and clinical management. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
