    Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) refers to a group of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels, including conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke. It is often caused by atherosclerosis, where plaque builds up in the arteries, leading to reduced blood flow and increased risk of heart attacks and other complications.
