Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels, including stroke, coronary heart disease, and peripheral artery disease. There have been some successful studies on risk factors for CVD. For example, some bad health conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, as well as some bad lifestyle habits, such as smoking, can lead to CVD. However, previous studies mainly focused on limited factors and did not carry out comprehensive analysis and summary, especially for middle-aged and elderly people. This article mentions risk factors for disease, age, and lifestyle, and suggests some solutions related to education, self-management, and medication that are common among patients. In addition, some of the measures and policies implemented by many countries and organizations for the prevention and control of these diseases are discussed. This article provides a convenient reference for future studies to understand CVD and other related studies. In the future, we hope to reduce the mortality and morbidity of CVDs as much as possible through continuous research on CVD risk factors and treatment methods.References
