As other part of your body, the cardiovascular system may be affected by specific illnesses. Heart and circulatory disease, known also as cardiovascular disease (CVD), includes all problems of the heart and blood vessels. The two main diseases in this category are coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, but CVD also includes congenital heart disease (i.e. the heart deformities present at birth), valvular heart disease and a range of other dysfunction of the heart and blood vessels.
