This means that the risk of contracting and dying from heart and vascular (hypertension, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, stroke) diseases increases every year, so these factors are an integral part of our lives.

Despite the fact that we live already in the 21st century, and humanity is confidently striding forward, conquering the unknown, cardiovascular disease are still chasing us.

Sometimes we think that some time will pass, and new technologies, scientific discoveries will help to get rid of all the deadly diseases, and we will finally acquire immortality, or at least improve the quality of life, especially at the respectful age.
