Cardioprotective Effect of Vitex negundo (L.) Leaf An Experimental Evidence

This book examines the global burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), with a focus on their rising prevalence in low- and middle-income countries. It highlights key risk factors, including lifestyle changes and early onset of myocardial infarction (MI) in regions like India. The book covers the anatomy of the heart and cardiovascular system, exploring the physiological mechanisms behind CVDs such as atherosclerosis, stroke, and coronary heart disease. It provides a comprehensive overview of prevention, diagnosis, and management strategies for CVDs, emphasizing the importance of early detection and cost-effective interventions.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global mortality, responsible for 31% of deaths worldwide. This book explores the epidemiology, causes, and impact of CVDs, with a special focus on their growing burden in developing countries. It discusses the underlying mechanisms of CVDs, including atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction, and the role of risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and unhealthy lifestyles. The book also outlines effective prevention strategies and early detection methods, providing evidence-based recommendations for reducing the burden of CVDs, particularly in high-risk populations.
