Cardiovascular disease is a broad term for a range of diseases of the heart, coronary arteries and blood vessels. People also call it ‘heart disease’ – and it is a leading cause of deaths worldwide. Cardiovascular or Heart Disease relates to any disorders of the blood vessels supplying your heart and other major parts of your body. Stroke, ischemic brain damage or cerebrovascular disease can also be linked to the same risk factors affecting your heart.

Cardiovascular disease begins after damage to the body occurs through diet or lifestyle. Smoking, physical inactivity (being unable to exercise) and a diet high in sugar and bad cholesterol are all risk factors to heart disease. This progresses to the development of high-risk heart diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. Males over the age of 40 and individuals with high environmental stress are also at increased risk.

Early detection of heart disease through cardiovascular screening tests can reduce suffering and, most importantly, prevent complications such as heart failure, stroke, kidney disease and coronary artery disease.

Screening tests identify your risk of future heart health issues and problems with your blood vessels, coronary arteries and other major body organs. It also identifies if you have modifiable risk factors, which are reversible and reduce your risk of heart disease developing in the future.
