Cardiovascular diseases in the WHO region of the Americas
Description
Cardiovascular disease is caused by disorders of the heart and blood vessels, and includes coronary heart disease (heart attacks), cerebrovascular disease (stroke), raised blood pressure (hypertension), peripheral artery disease, rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease and heart failure. The major causes of cardiovascular disease are tobacco use, physical inactivity, an unhealthy diet and harmful use of alcohol.
A small capsule of plutonium 238 provides power for the atomic pacemaker. The entire unit is implantable. Wired directly to the heart, the unit provides a regular heart-beat.
