Abstract		Cardiovascular disease rarely is caused by a single frailty. Rather, it is a multifaceted failure that includes physical, psychological, and genetic weaknesses. Since cardiovascular disease remains the number one killer in Western societies, there is more published scientific information about prevention and treatment than exists for other diseases. Overlooking just one risk factor, such as elevated levels of C-reactive protein, fibrinogen or homocysteine, could lead to the development or worsening of heart and/or vascular disease.
Summary		Kardiovaskularno obolenje redko nastopi zaradi enega samega vzroka. Pri teh obolenjih lahko govorimo o več napakah, ki jih lahko uvrstimo med fizikalne, fiziološke in genetične. Ker kardiovaskularna obolenja predstavljajo bolezen številka ena zahodnega sveta, je na tem področju objavljeno tudi največ znanstvene literature o zaščiti pred temi obolenji in zdravljenju le-teh. Če bi obravnavali samo en dejavnik tveganja, kot recimo zvišano koncentracijo C-reaktivnega proteina, fibrinogen ali homocistein, nas to lahko pripelje k poslabšanju srčnega in/ali vaskularnega obolenja.
