Cardiovascular Affects Human Blood Circulation
Cardiovascular diseases affecting the heart and blood circulation. In Western countries, the term is most commonly coronary heart disease, responsible for the Pectoris angina or heart attacks.
These diseases affect more specific population groups (workers, persons exposed to certain pollutants, victims of obesity.) and their regional prevalence is marked (in France at the end of the twentieth century in the Nord-Pas-de - Calais and Alsace, two regions significantly more affected than other regions and the national average, as more cancers). They are often among the factors that decrease the longer the life expectancy of a population.
