Learn more about cardiovascular disease

Often called simply "heart disease," cardiovascular disease refers to conditions and diseases of the heart and blood vessels, which carry blood throughout the body. Cardiovascular disease can dramatically affect your health. Narrowing of blood vessels can cause a heart attack or stroke, impair walking, or result in limb loss. Heart failure, heart valve problems, and arrhythmia—when the heart beats too fast or too slow—can affect how well the heart works.

In this video, Dr. Mark Creager discusses important facts about heart and vascular disease and how you can keep your heart healthy.
