cardiovascular disease is a disease of the heart or blood vessels. Cardiovascular disease includes coronary heart disease and stroke.
Blood flow to the heart can be restricted by a build up of fatty deposits on the walls of the arteries that supply the heart
This causes the arteries to harden and narrow
