    Cardiovascular disease is a condition resulting from reduced blood flow to the heart and brain, such as heart attacks and strokes. It develops over time as blood vessels accumulate problems inside. Signs of a heart attack include chest pain or pressure, difficulty breathing, and pain spreading to other areas. It is important to immediately call emergency services if heart attack symptoms occur and to receive advanced care within 5-8 minutes. Risk factors include smoking, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, lack of exercise, and high blood pressure. Steps to prevent heart disease involve exercising 30 minutes daily, eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol, and seeing a doctor regularly.
