car·di·o·vas·cu·lar dis·ease Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) includes heart attacks (myocardial infarctions), stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. CVD is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. If you are obese, have insulin resistance or Diabetes (DM2) you may be significantly predisposes to developing CVD, but these conditions are potentially avoidable. If you identify your risk early enough to make lifestyle modifications or seek medical help, you can avoid becoming a part of these rising statistics.
