Cardiovascular disease is an illness that affects the heart and blood vessels. According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) include coronary Heart disease (coronary artery disease, ischemic Heart disease); stroke (brain attack); high blood pressure (hypertension); and rheumatic heart disease. CVDs are a growing health concern in American and coronary Heart disease is stated to be the number one cause of death. Research shows that nearly everyone can decrease their risk of CVD by following a heart healthy diet, an appropriate exercise routine, eliminating tobacco products and following a routine health care plan.

In simpler words, yes.
