cardiovascular 是形容词，不能单独作宾语；它必须修饰一个名词，如 disease（疾病）或 system（系统）。汉语里可说“心血管”，但英语需要补出被修饰的名词。
The patient suffered a cardiovascular arrest.The patient suffered a cardiac arrest.
心脏骤停的固定说法是 cardiac arrest，用形容词 cardiac（心脏的）；cardiovascular 指“心血管的”，包括心脏和血管，语义范围不符。

Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：medical report、health education article、academic research paper “cardiovascular”是医学术语，语体比较正式，通常用于医学报告、健康科普文章或学术文献中；日常口语中一般会用 heart 或 cardio 等更通俗的说法。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Only vascular (/ˈvæskjulə/) has the same stressed vowel /æ/ and the same following sequence /skjulə/ as cardiovascular, so it is a true rhyme. Muscular, popular, particular, spectacular, and secular look similar in spelling because they end in -ular/-cular, but their stressed vowels or following consonants differ, so they do not rhyme with cardiovascular. In particular, spectacular is a lookalike: its stressed syllable is /tæk/, not /væsk/.
