They include diseases of the coronary arteries that supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients; diseases of arteries such as the carotid artery that provide blood flow to the brain; and diseases of the peripheral arteries that carry blood throughout the body. Worldwide, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death, causing about a third of all deaths each year.

It explains that blood pressure varies during heart contractions and can pose health risks if high. Mechanisms, including kidney regulation and hormone responses like renin and ANP, affect blood pressure.

NO regulates blood flow, kidney function, and gastrointestinal motility, and has effects on inflammation, endocrine secretion, and nervous system function. It plays a role in fertilization, pathogen elimination, and aging, and is used in medical treatments such as erectile dysfunction.
