Intro
🎵 Dun dun duuuun! 🎵
Enter: The Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) – the notorious villain of heart and blood vessel disorders!
CVD Facts 🎯
- It’s an umbrella term, covering bad guys like
- Hypertension (high BP)
- CHD or ischaemic heart disease (same thing, diff names)
- Stroke
- 🌍 World Health Organisation Fun Fact (though not so fun): CHD was the biggest baddie in 2008, causing 13% of all worldwide deaths! 😱
- Stroke is its sneaky sidekick, causing 11% of global deaths.
Places they chill- 🏙️🌆
They really like high income countries! Responsible for over 30% of all deaths there.
How they roll- 🚗💨
- Atherosclerosis: Imagine gunk (like fat and cholesterol) blocking your sink. Now, put that in the body. Nasty, right? It's called a plaque.
- Bad ending 1: Blood clot or thrombus blocks arteries.
- Bad ending 2: A plaque piece blocks arteries.
- Result in the heart: Heart Attack! (aka myocardial infarction 📚)
- Result in the brain: Stroke! 🌀
