Heart disease includes many conditions that affect the heart, but coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common. It happens when fatty deposits build up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Heart disease can lead to serious problems like heart attack, heart failure, cardiac arrest, stroke, and organ damage. However, healthy habits, medications, and medical procedures can help prevent or treat these conditions.
🫀 Coronary artery disease: Fatty deposits narrow the heart’s blood vessels.
🫀 Arrhythmias: Abnormal heart rhythms that affect how the heart beats.
🫀 Heart valve diseases: Valves become too narrow or don’t close properly, reducing blood flow.
🫀 Cardiomyopathy: The heart muscle becomes stiff or thick and cannot pump blood effectively.
🫀 Heart failure: The heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs.
🫀 Congenital heart disease: Heart problems present from birth that affect normal blood flow.
🫀 Pericardial issues: Inflammation or stiffness of the sac around the heart puts pressure on it.
The first signs of heart disease may include chest pain, shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, fatigue, and dizziness or fainting. Symptoms can vary depending on the condition.
Other possible symptoms include:
Pounding or racing heart (palpitations)
Sweating
Neck pain
Heartburn or indigestion
Nausea or vomiting
Trouble sleeping
Reduced ability to exercise
Fever
