Hi Hannah, great question! Cardiovascular disease can indeed be treated, and many people go on to lead active, fulfilling lives after diagnosis. Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, medications, and even surgical procedures like bypass or stenting. The specific approach depends on the type and severity of the disease.

It's also worth noting that early detection and prevention are key when it comes to cardiovascular disease. Regular check-ups and screenings can help identify risk factors and allow for timely intervention. And of course, maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, and stress management can significantly reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in the first place.

Of course, it's important to remember that every person's situation is unique, and what works for one person might not work for another. It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and treatment options. And remember, even if you do have cardiovascular disease, there is hope for a healthy, happy future!
