Introduction to cardiovascular disease (CVD)

Cardiovascular disease (CAD) is a complex condition that often begins in childhood with the early buildup of fatty streaks in the arteries. Over time, these fatty deposits can harden and narrow the arteries, leading to atherosclerosis, a condition that can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems later in life.

Let's talk about cardiovascular disease. What is Treeo working on?

Cardiovascular disease, or CVD, is the umbrella term for diseases that affect the heart or blood vessels. When we refer to heart disease at Treeo, we’re normally talking about coronary artery disease (CAD), which is the most common type of CVD in the United States. This is the type of heart disease that we are currently focused on tackling.

Current approaches include lifestyle intervention, drug prescriptions to try to slow the progression, and surgeries to circumvent clogged arteries to try to relieve symptoms.

By addressing a multitude of factors causing heart disease, our bodies may start healing themselves, in many cases opening up arteries without drugs or surgery.

Over time, these fatty deposits can harden and narrow the arteries, leading to atherosclerosis, a condition that can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems later in life. Traditionally, we discuss how genetics and family history can play a role in the development of CAD, as well as how lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking can also contribute to the early onset of the disease.

For many individuals and clinicians, reversing heart disease still doesn’t seem possible. Current approaches include lifestyle intervention, drug prescriptions to try to slow the progression, and surgeries to circumvent clogged arteries to try to relieve symptoms. However, by addressing a multitude of factors causing heart disease, our bodies may start healing themselves, in many cases opening up arteries without drugs or surgery.

Several social determinants of health interact in intricate ways to create a multitude of risk factors that predispose individuals to the disease.

Today, we have come to understand that coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex condition that arises from a combination of various factors, including lifestyle, social, and environmental factors. These determinants interact in intricate ways to create a multitude of risk factors that predispose individuals to the disease. Therefore, it is essential to analyze each of these factors fairly and comprehensively to develop an effective solution for CAD. At Treeo, we are dedicated to providing our members with a comprehensive solution for CAD that addresses all these factors and more. Our solution incorporates state-of-the-art features that not only manage the disease but also promote long-term wellness. With our solution, our members can rest assured that their health is in good hands, and they can enjoy a better quality of life.
