Abstract:

Cardiovascular disease CVD is the number one cause of morbidity and mortality for both men and women in the U.S, and our military Warfighters are not immune to its increasingly harmful impacts. Our Warfighters are consistently placed in harms way due to their mission of deterring the enemys threats and protecting our homeland security. These high-stakes operational demands bring stressors related to military deployment, physiological changes related to cellular brain and heart health, which may also impact operational readiness. Oxidative stress is a key underlying factor in conditions of atherosclerosis and cognitive decline
