What are some symptoms associated with cardiovascular disease? So the symptoms depend very much on where the cardiovascular disease is in the body. So the most common site to talk about would be the heart. So the typical symptoms of cardiovascular disease from the heart would be breathlessness, chest tightness or discomfort or squeezing when you try to do things or exert yourself that may be relieved when you rest or stop. Some people feel palpitations or the sensation of a fast heartbeat which may sometimes be related to an abnormal rhythm of the heart. Sometimes blackouts or collapses are associated with with cardiovascular disease and it's very important to say that if you develop chest pain which is severe and is lasting more than 10 to 15 minutes despite resting and sitting down then it's important to call an ambulance to make sure that you are investigated appropriately and checked that you're not having a heart attack. In terms of other places in the body, if someone has had disease of the blood vessels of the brain over a long period of time they may develop symptoms of vascular dementia which would usually present with forgetfulness and a loss of short-term memory.
