The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against harmful pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. However, the immune system can also play a role in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease, which is a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. This is due to the fact that the immune system can become dysregulated, leading to chronic inflammation, which is a key driver of CVD. Inflammation is a normal physiological response to injury or infection, but when it becomes chronic, it can lead to tissue damage and the development of CVD.
