More:
Cardiovascular diseases refer to a group of diseases affecting the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels). The narrowing or blockage of blood vessels (often due to atherosclerosis) results in a reduced blood supply to the heart muscle. This is often characterized by chest pain (angina) and heart attacks.
Cardiovascular can also involve lymphatics (see circulatory system).
