Morphology
The noun phrase is fully compositional: 'cardiovascular' (related to the heart and blood vessels) combined with 'disease' (a pathological condition) clearly yields 'a disease affecting the heart or blood vessels.' This follows common medical compounding patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Cardiovascular disease comes from the parts cardio meaning 'heart' and vascular meaning 'blood vessels'. It literally names problems with the heart or the tubes that carry blood, so it means 'a disease affecting the heart or blood vessels'.
