Highlights the various clinical aspects of heart disease and associated comorbidities
Comorbidity is associated with worse health outcomes, more complex clinical management, and increased health impairments. Comorbidity is a medical term that describes the concurrent existence of more than one disease or condition within the body. Comorbidities are usually long-term and chronic; however, they may or may not interact with each other. A distinct but related issue is the sequence in which comorbidities occur, which have important implications for the genesis, prognosis, and treatment of the clinical condition.
