“Cardiovascular disease is a class of diseases that involve the heart, the blood vessels or both.
Cardiovascular disease refers to any disease that affects the cardiovascular system, principally cardiac
disease, vascular diseases of the brain and kidney, and peripheral arterial disease.”
The growing toll is most visible in Asia’s demographic giants, where the disease burden is converging
with the US and Western Europe.with the US and Western Europe.
Coronary heart disease and stroke are two of the top four causes of mortality in every region of the
world outside of Africa.
Coronary heart disease and stroke remain the leading killers in every high-income region of the world.
Developed countries have brought down their CVD burden in recent decades.
CVD accounted for 43% of deaths in developed countries in 2010, down from 48% in 1990, according
to the Global Burden of Disease study.

6. Pathology of Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the general name given to diseases which affect the heart and blood vessels.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) refers to diseases affecting the heart and coronary blood vessels.
Examples of CVD are: thrombosis, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke.
The main processes involved in cardiovascular and coronary heart disease are Atherosclerosis andThe main processes involved in cardiovascular and coronary heart disease are Atherosclerosis and
Hypertension.

7. Hypertension
Hypertension is said to occur when the blood
pressure is greater than 160/95 mm Hg.
According to WHO “An estimated 1.13 billion
people worldwide have hypertension (high blood
pressure) which often goes undetected until a heartpressure) which often goes undetected until a heart
attack or stroke occurs.
Therefore, it is important to have blood pressure
checked on a regular basis and to adopt a healthy
lifestyle to prevent hypertension.

8. Complications related to hypertension
Atherosclerosis: narrowing of the arteries.
Stroke: haemorrhage or blood clot in the brain
Aneurysm: dangerous expansion of the main artery either in the chest or the abdomen, which
becomes weakened and may rupturebecomes weakened and may rupture
Heart attack
Heart failure: Reduced Pumping Ability
Kidney failure
Eye damage

14. Coronary Heart Disease
Coronary heart disease (CHD), or coronary artery disease,
develops when the coronary arteries become too narrow.
The coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply
oxygen and blood to the heart.
CHD tends to develop when cholesterol builds up on the
Coronary arteries form the network of blood vessels on the surface of the heart that feed it oxygen. If these
arteries narrow, the heart may not receive enough oxygen rich blood, especially during physical activity.
artery walls, creating plaques. These plaques cause the
arteries to narrow, reducing blood flow to the heart. A clot
can sometimes obstruct the blood flow, causing serious
health problems.

17. Arrhythmia
An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of
heartbeat. It means that heart beats too quickly, too slowly,
or with an irregular pattern.
When the heart beats faster than normal, it is called
tachycardia.
When the heart beats too slowly, it is called bradycardia.
The most common type of arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation,
which causes an irregular and fast heart beat.

19. Role of yoga in CVD
Yoga has shown favorable changes in cardiovascular disease factors:
Improving HDL
Decreasing LDL
Reducing blood pressure
Vigorous-intensity exercise is inappropriate for patients suffering from
cardiovascular disease
Yoga, a mind-body intervention, consists of low-intensity physical postures that
stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system inducing the relaxation response
imperative for patients with or at-risk for cardiovascular disease.

20. Role of yoga in CVD
Path to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in both healthy and mentally
ill adults.
Combines physical postures with breathing techniques and meditation.
It is a lifestyle intervention that can result in improved cardiorespiratory
fitness.
Yoga is studied for its efforts to reduce the psychological and physical risk
factors associated with cardiovascular disease.
