Did you know that CBD can benefit heart health in many ways, including lowering blood pressure and improving artery function?
Some research has linked CBD to a number of benefits for the heart and circulatory system, including the ability to reduce high blood pressure.
According to the Cardiac Care Quality Indicators Report, about 2.4 million Canadians have heart disease. It is the second leading cause of death in Canada. The explanation for the high mortality rate from heart problems is the lack of health care. Specialist doctors encourage the adoption of healthier habits, physical exercises and a routine of preventive care, therapeutic measures and medical follow-up.
Advances in medicine and the emergence of new technologies allow an accurate diagnosis of various heart diseases. Due to innovations applied in the cardiac area, patient survival has increased compared to previous years. However, this advance has not affected the quality of life of people suffering from heart disease to the same extent.
People with heart failure, for example, routinely suffer from shortness of breath for daily activities, such as climbing stairs, eating or bathing, and this directly influences the minimum quality of life necessary to live with diseases that are often incurable.
The cardiovascular system and heart disease
The heart pumps blood flow throughout the body and is made up of four chambers—right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle.
The cardiovascular system has coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle and the pericardium, the nervous tissue that conducts the complex neurological signals that govern the contraction and relaxation of the organ.
Heart disease occurs when one of these structures does not work properly. Therefore, it can have numerous causes and consequences. Click here and see the most known heart diseases.
The use of Cannabis as an option for the treatment of heart disease
Palliative care increases the comfort of these patients, both physical and psychological. Medical Cannabis, then, appears as an option for people looking for an alternative treatment to traditional treatments, often invasive or based on prescription drugs with varied and extreme side effects.
Among the many benefits of using Cannabidiol for human health and well-being is the reduction of blood pressure, which is linked to a number of health conditions, including stroke and heart attack.
Some studies have already been carried out and have proven that CBD may be beneficial for people with high blood pressure. Though more human studies are needed, CBD may benefit heart health in several ways, including artery function.
In this way, cannabidiol, as an alternative therapy, has been proven to increase the quality of life of patients with heart disease, improving their clinical and psychological conditions.
