The main function of the heart is to pump blood around the body, which will take oxygen and nutrients to the cells for the essential life processes.
The heart is a muscle. It requires a blood supply to provide it with oxygen and glucose and all other nutrients.
Cardiovascular disease is a disease of the heart and the blood vessels.
Cholesterol can build up in blood vessels and 'clog them up'. This is called Atherosclerosis.
