.1. Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease, rheumatic and
congenital heart disease and venous thromboembolism. Collectively, CVD is
responsible for 17.9 million deaths per year globally –31% of all deaths, within
which Ischemic Heart disease (IHD) accounts for the majority of mortality.
Despite a fall in the proportion of CVD related deaths over the last 40 years, the
rate of decline is slowing while morbidity from CVD is rising . [Jack Stewart1 ,

1.1.1. Ischemic heart disease (IHD)
is the most common type of heart diseases (Wilson & Douglas, 2015).,
is a chronic condition that narrows arteries by building fat-filled bulges in the
arterial walls that develops slowly overtime. These bulges are called
atherosclerotic plaques (CAD, 2015). Atherosclerosis thickens the walls of
medium and large arteries. The atherosclerotic thickenings occur as bulges, called
plaques, in the arterial walls. Plaques contain white cells, lipids, smooth muscle
cells, and connective tissue in a poorly organized mass that lies just under the
endothelial lining of the artery wall. Any medium or large artery in the body can
be affected. Most atherosclerosis causes no clinical problems. Many people have
atherosclerosis throughout their bodies but develop no serious medical
symptoms. When atherosclerosis causes the coronary arteries to become very
narrow or when plaques rupture and send clots into the arteries of the heart, a
person is said to have coronary artery disease (CAD 2015).
