Multicellular
organisms require
transport systems
to supply their cells and remove waste products.
View source
In humans, one of the functions of the circulatory system is to
transport substances.
View source
The
heart
is a crucial part of the
circulatory
system.
View source
Circulation
is controlled by the
heart rate.
View source
Blood vessels are a part of the
circulatory
system.
View source
White blood cells
are a part of the
circulatory
system.
View source
Development
of
cardiovascular disease
can be evaluated.
View source
Treatment methods for cardiovascular disease include
drugs
and
heart transplants.
View source
Drugs used alongside
heart conditions
and transplants can
prolong
life.
View source
Statins are
drugs
used to treat
cardiovascular
disease.
View source
Statins can reduce the
risk
of heart attack and may have beneficial effects on other conditions.
View source
Statins
are not suitable for people with
liver
disease and may cause
side effects.
View source
Heart transplants
can improve the
quality of life
but the recovery time is long.
View source
Blood clots may stick to
mechanical
valves, and anti-blood clotting drugs need to be taken.
View source
Stents widen coronary arteries that have not responded to drug treatment.

View source
There is a
risk
of
rejection
by the body's
immune system.
View source
Replacement heart valves restore blood flow
through the heart.
View source
Statins
are used to reduce high
cholesterol
levels that have
genetic
causes.
View source
Statins
must be taken for
life
and should not be taken if pregnant or breastfeeding.
View source
Biological valves
may wear out.
View source
Heart transplants
improve quality of life, but there are few donor hearts available and the recovery time is long.
View source
Stents
widen
coronary arteries
that have not responded to
drug treatment.
View source
Statins may have
beneficial
effects on other
conditions.
View source
Drugs such as
statins
can
reduce
the risk of
heart attack.
View source
Statins have been shown to decrease
'bad cholesterol'
and increase
'good cholesterol'.
View source
In a
minority
of cases, further treatment is required.
View source
The
recovery time
is
short
following
insertion
of the
stent.
