چکیده
Cardiovascular diseases are known as the disorders of the heart and the blood vessels, which claim 17.1 million lives a year worldwide (World Health Organization, 2010). In the United States, almost in every 34 s, someone dies from the diseases, and each year there are 6 million hospitalizations accounting for near $300 billion healthcare cost due to the diseases.[1] The major risk factors contributing to cardiovascular diseases include heredity, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and high blood cholesterol level.[2] Although a healthy diet, physical exercise, and avoiding smoking can effectively prevent cardiovascular diseases, combined medications with statin drugs to reduce blood cholesterol and the drugs to lower blood pressure are required to lighten the burden of the diseases.
