Introduction
Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Conditions
When we looked at the leading causes of death in Canada in 2018, diseases and conditions of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems ranked as follows:
- 1–Cancer that has spread
- 2–Diseases of the heart
- 3–Cerebrovascular diseases
- 4–Accidents
- 5–Chronic lower respiratory diseases
- 6–Influenza and pneumonia
As you work through this lesson, identify some possible causes for these rankings.
Only six conditions in these body systems will be discussed. As you think of others, make sure you add them to the wiki.
