ABSTRACT:

Cardiovascular disease comprises coronary artery diseases such as angina and myocardial infarction (also known as a heart attack). Other cardiovascular disease consists of stroke, heart failure, hypertensive heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart arrhythmia, congenital heart disease, thromboembolic disease, and venous thrombosis. . It can also know their treatment and many of the cardiovascular disease risk factors like what they are and how they can be influenced positively to minimize cardiovascular diseases. The primary mechanisms vary depending on the disease. Actual goal of this review article is to survey the various methods to treat and recommends for homeless patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia & heart failure. This article also explains the negative effect of behaviors such as smoking and drinking too much alcohol on cardiac and vascular health. This should have an appreciation of the ‘bigger picture’ and see how all these factors combine to influence our cardiovascular health that in itself will affect our relationships and our daily lives, at home and at work.
