History of Cardiovascular Disease: An Overview
Journal Title: The Journal of Phytopharmacology - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The term "cardiovascular disease" is often used interchangeably with “heart disease” because both terms refer to diseases of the heart or arteries. Whatever name is used — cardiovascular disease or heart disease – it is clear that diseases of the heart and blood vessels are serious problems. Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 worldwide killer of men and women, as mention previously under “Cardiovascular Disease Statistics”.
