Ameliorating cardiac risk factors is the most effective way of minimizing CVDs’ negative physical and psychological ramifications World Health Organization (WHO, 2021). By targeting those people who are most predisposed to develop cardiac illness or whose risk factors prevent them from managing their illness as recommended, we
