What Causes Heart Disease?

Most heart disease is caused by plaque buildup in the arteries, a process called atherosclerosis.

Over time, arteries narrow, blood flow slows, and the risk of heart attack or stroke increases.

Small changes today can protect your heart tomorrow.

Plaque Builds. Risk Rises.
Prevention starts early

Your heart matters—every day.

🫀 What Is Cardiovascular Disease?

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a term used for conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels—and it’s more common than many people realize.

CVD includes:
✔️ Heart disease (plaque buildup in arteries)
✔️ Heart attack (blocked blood flow to the heart)
✔️ Stroke (blocked or ruptured blood vessels in the brain)
✔️ Heart failure (the heart doesn’t pump as well as it should)
✔️ Arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms)
✔️ Heart valve problems (leaky or narrowed valves)

The good news?
💙 Many heart conditions are preventable and manageable with the right care, movement, medications, and lifestyle changes.

Your heart works for you every day—take care of it.
