known as the diving response and mammalian diving reflex, is a set of physiological responses to immersion that overrides the basic homeostatic reflexes

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is any disease involving the heart or blood vessels. CVDs constitute a class of diseases that includes: coronary artery diseases

Compensatory stage (Stage 2) is characterised by the body employing physiological mechanisms, including neural, hormonal, and bio-chemical mechanisms

melatonin synthesis. Other physiological changes that occur according to a circadian rhythm include heart rate and many cellular processes "including oxidative

arteriosclerosis". The atherosclerotic process is not well understood.[needs update] Atherosclerosis is associated with inflammatory processes in the endothelial cells
