    Cardiovascular Disease



     • Nowadays, people's fast-paced lifestyle, high-pressure working environment and unhealthy eating habits have led to a sharp increase in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. At least 95 out of 100 people have some form of cardiovascular disease. According to statistics, 17 million people worldwide die of myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases every year.

     • According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are responsible for the highest number of fatalities worldwide, claiming approximately 17.9 million lives annually. CVDs encompass a range of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels, including coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease, and other related conditions. The majority of CVD-related deaths, accounting for over 80%, result from heart attacks and strokes. Alarmingly, one-third of these deaths occur prematurely in individuals under the age of 70.

     • In China, half of men and one third of women over the age of 30 are at risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and Risk increases with age. Every day in China, about 138 people have blood vessels blocked due to thrombosis, cholesterol crystals, hyperlipidemia and other reasons, resulting in 54 disabled and 32 dead. Among them, thrombus formation and disintegration in blood vessels are common, but as people age, pressure and tension increase, thrombus that cannot be disintegrated smoothly may be converted into fibrin (an insoluble protein that makes blood clot), causing important Insufficient blood supply to organs. Organs and tissues are damaged, blood viscosity increases, blood fluidity decreases, and stroke, myocardial infarction, venous thrombosis, senile dementia, dysmenorrhea, high blood pressure, sleep disturbance, etc. are prone to occur.



    Major factors for cardiovascular disease :

     • Smoking
     • Insufficient physical activity
     • Unhealthy diet
     • Consumption of alcoholic beverages
     • Overweight and obesity
     • High blood pressure due to work stress
     • Hyperglycemia/diabetes
     • Hyperlipidemia
