**3. Current treatments of CVDs**

Despite advances made to the treatment and prevention, CVDs are still the leading causes of death of all NCDs. Nevertheless, majority of CVDs are preventable with just lifestyle changes alone. An integrative approach has been adopted to the prevention and treatment of CVDs; as the approach address the root causes influenced by lifestyle. The approach acknowledges that the great value and potential life-saving benefits of modern pharmacology and procedures cannot use only one approach since each has own limitation [13]. The combinatory approach allows for counteracting limitations of one approach with the other approach. The goal of treating CVDs is to improve cardiovascular health and reduce deaths from heart disease and stroke.
