Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death in the western world.” Many diseases can be stabilized or even prevented by personal lifestyle and actively influencing risk factors,” says Dr. Alexander Samol. Some diseases begin silently, such as high blood pressure, while others are highly symptomatic.
