Job
Once you get it you’ll have to change to a healthy lifestyle. I am a cardiologist; a doctor for the cardiovascular system. My name is Mohammed al Najem, MD. When someone has a problem with their heart, vessels, or blood, I’m there to treat them. Sometimes I can’t cure a problem but maybe I can slow it down. And then again maybe it’s too late.
System
The cardiovascular system consists of heart, vessels, and blood. The job of the cardiovascular system is to transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. The job of the heart is to move the blood around the body. The vessels are the road for the blood. And the blood has little blood cells that carry and drop them off at your limbs or head. When the heart functions it needs blood. So it gets the energy from the coronary arteries which around the heart.

Coronary artery disease affects the cardiovascular system by slowing down the heartbeat. And the heart is a very important organ. Coronary artery disease will slow down the heartbeat because the coronary arteries will get clogged and the heart won’t get much power to pump the blood. It is common to people who smoke daily and eat too much junk food.
