Cardiovascular system

1. Cardiovascular system overview
2. Classification of Cardiovascular disease
3. Most common Cardiovascular disease

For thousands of years people have been impressed by the structure and functions of cardiovascular system. This is obvious as life for humans and other living organism is always associated with a heart beating. In ancient and medieval times people could not explain the exact mechanisms and structure of cardiovascular system. Only in beginning of 17th century the scientist William Harvey showed that cardiovascular system represents a complex structure consisting of heart which pumps blood to the

body and deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Later it was discovered that the main function of cardiovascular system is to carry oxygen and nutrients to all of the cells in the organism and pick up waste products and carbon dioxide for their elimination out of the organism.

Cardiovascular system include four important components:

• Heart
• Blood vessels
• Blood
• Nerves and hormones (they act as control mechanisms)

Cardiovascular system is closely referred to a term circulation system that combines heart, blood vessels and blood. Circulation system consists of:

• Pulmonary circulation is responsible for transporting of deoxygenated blood to the lungs and returns of oxygenated blood back to the heart. Then oxygenated blood is pumped out from the left ventricle though the aorta to systemic circulation.
• Systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to every part of the organism and returns oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart.
• Coronary circulation system is responsible for blood supply to the heart. It supplies oxygen-rich blood to the heart. Coronary circulation belongs to systemic circulation.

For the recent fifty years modern society has faced a problem when cardiovascular diseases became the main cause of mortality all over the world.
