Cardiovascular

The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood and blood vessels. These organs form the 3 major closed circulation systems in the body, i.e., the pulmonary, coronary and systemic circulations. Cardiovascular disease includes heart disease, vascular diseases of the brain and kidney, and peripheral arterial diseases. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally. Studies on cardiovascular regulation are important to provide a better understanding of this group of diseases and to help improve the corresponding treatment.
