Cardiovascular disease refers to a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke. While some people may experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or fatigue, others may not notice any signs until a serious event occurs. CVD remains the leading cause of death worldwide.

Risk factors include unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, smoking, diabetes, and genetic predisposition. Ongoing clinical research is focused on improving prevention, early detection, and treatment strategies. Participating in clinical trials may provide access to innovative therapies designed to support heart health and improve long-term outcomes.
