What are the risks of having cardiovascular disease?

What are the risks of having cardiovascular disease? So the main risks depend on where that cardiovascular disease is. So if there is narrowing of the blood vessels called atherosclerosis and this occurs in the heart, this can result in a higher risk of having a heart attack. If If atherosclerosis, clogging up of the arteries and the blood vessels is occurring in the brain, that puts people at a higher risk of having a stroke or in the long-term developing vascular dementia. If this process is occurring in the kidneys, it can in the long-term result in kidney failure and the need for dialysis. And if this is happening in the eyes or the blood vessels that supply the eyes, and in the long-term it can result in a loss of vision. There are other forms of cardiovascular disease such as narrowings of blood vessels in the legs and can result in a reduction in blood flow to the legs which can cause pain and ultimately in worst case scenarios can result in the loss of the blood supply to the leg or legs completely which may require surgery. The forms of cardiovascular disease not related to blood vessels may include the valves of the heart, which allow blood to pass through the heart in a smooth motion. And if you have been seen by your doctor and they have picked up on or they've identified that there may be a heart valve problem this would need to be investigated further as appropriate by your doctor.
