Identified Health Issue: Cardiovascular Disease
PX
Heart disease encompasses a range of conditions affecting the heart's
structure and function, posing significant health risks both domestically and
globally. This includes conditions such as heart attacks, heart failure,
SF

irregular heartbeats, and faulty heart valves, with associated symptoms like
chest discomfort, shortness of breath, dizziness, and irregular heartbeat.
Key contributors to cardiovascular diseases include high blood pressure,
high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, diabetes, and physical inactivity.
R

Additionally, factors such as age, gender, and family history can influence
an individual's susceptibility to heart disease.
U

In developed societies, environmental factors are influenced by social


N

environments such as the built environment, pollution, socioeconomic


status, and social networks.

CHD, responsible for around 382,820 deaths per year, represents the most
prevalent form of heart disease. Annually, about 805,000 individuals in the
United States experience heart attacks, with 605,000 being their initial
occurrence and 200,000 occurring in those with a history of heart attacks.

Environmental and epidemiological determinants significantly influence the


prevalence of heart diseases in the US population. Factors such as air and
water quality, pollution, and socioeconomic status play crucial roles in

m
shaping the risk and prevalence of heart diseases. Some environmental
factors linked to increased heart disease risk include air pollution, exposure
to secondhand smoke, limited access to green spaces, and availability of

o
healthy dietary options. Similarly, epidemiological factors such as age,
gender, and socioeconomic status play crucial roles in explaining the

increasing prevalence of heart diseases.
