"Cardiovascular disease is defined as the severe situation that affects blood circulation and the heart of both men and women.

Cardiovascular problems in both men and women are usually as a result of several effects that affects a person's cardiovascular system. In some cases, these problems usually build up and progress gradually over a person's lifetime without symptoms. To identify and diagnose heart diseases, doctors have always used a similar approach in both men and women.
"Smoking is widely considered as the major habit that increases the risk of experiencing cardiovascular diseases particularly coronary heart disease. Actually, according to research, one in every five smokers dies because of the experiencing of cardiovascular diseases. The habit of smoking basically results in instant and enduring growth in blood pressure and heart rate that leads to heart attacks. The risk of coronary heart diseases starts to reduce several months after stopping smoking and reaches a similar level of people who have never smoked within a period of approximately five years."
