Cardiovascular disease is a disease of the blood vessels of the heart and other vital organs. This disease presents hardening and narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis), which eventually leads to the damage of those organs, which could result in heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.
Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer and source of disability for both men and women in North America, and kills more Canadians and Americans than the next 7 causes of death combined – including cancer. Each year, more than one million Canadians and Americans suffer from a heart attack which is often fatal.1
Vascular injury may start from adolescence and can progress slowly. Unfortunately, cardiovascular disease is often detected in advanced stages, having progressed for decades. By modifying risk factors, slowing the progress of cardiovascular disease is possible, and should be a top priority in maintaining good cardiac health.
With the burgeoning cost of health care, the Canadian health care system is unable to fund preventive health care. However, both the American Heart Association and American College of Sports medicine recommend cardiovascular screening in asymptomatic middle-aged men and women.2
