Paraphin [41]

Answer: What are the risk factors for cardiovascular disease?

About half of all Americans (47%) have at least 1 of 3 key risk factors for heart disease: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking. Some risk factors for heart disease cannot be controlled, such as your age or family history.

Signs and symptoms can include:

Chest pain, chest tightness, chest pressure and chest discomfort (angina)

Shortness of breath.

Pain, numbness, weakness or coldness in your legs or arms if the blood vessels in those parts of your body are narrowed.

Pain in the neck, jaw, throat, upper abdomen or back.

What treatment is used for cardiovascular disease?

Since the 1970s, aspirin has also been used to prevent and manage heart disease and stroke. Beta-blockers are one of the most widely prescribed class of drugs to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). They are a mainstay treatment for congestive heart failure.

Softa [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3><h2>C. Helps increase stamina when exercising. .</h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

The purpose of cool down exercises is to reduce the heart rate at a very controlled pace. This regulation of the heartbeat allows the body to receive oxygenated blood at a gradually slower pace till it is accustomed to the lower heartbeat, as opposed to a sudden decrease in the heartbeat, which would cause movement of blood away from heart thereby resulting in lightheadedness.
