Heart disease or cardiopathy is an umbrella term for a variety for different diseases affecting the heart. As of 2007, it is the leading cause of death in the United States, England, Canada and Wales, killing one person every 34 seconds in the United States alone. Here is the different heart disease:
Coronary heart disease
Cardiomyopathy
Cardiovascular disease
Ischaemic heart disease
Heart failure
Hypertensive heart disease
Inflammatory heart disease
Valvular heart disease
Cardiovascular disease is not a single ailment, but a disorder of the heart and circulatory system. Heart disease can refer to damage in the heart's lining, valves, muscle, arteries, or electrical system. A person can suffer from several types of cardiovascular disorders at the same time or several different problems can be related to a single underlying cause. A person can be born with a diseased heart, or develop heart disease. Some risk factors leading to heart disease are controllable (smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise), while others are not controllable (age, gender, ethnicity).
Aneurysms
Healthy arteries are flexible and elastic. When an artery becomes damaged, it losses its elasticity. Instead of retaining its smooth cylindrical shape, the artery may develop a bulge, called an aneurysm. Having lost its elasticity and strength the damaged artery may rupture, much like a balloon that has too much air in it.
Angina
is a symptom of myocardial ischemia usually caused by coronary atherosclerosis. Patients feel chest pressure and shortness of breath, and possibly sweating when they exercise.
Arrhythmia
is any deviation from or disturbance of the normal heart rhythm. The basic rhythm of the heart is a tightly regulated phenomenon designed to insure efficiency and optimal
performance. It is a dynamic phenomenon that changes according to the metabolic needs of the body. The cardiac rhythm involves several different microscopic and macroscopic structures within the normal heart.
hey,
thanks for your information
this is a useful post
thank you
hey blood pressure is also a heart disease know?
hey blood pressure is also a heart disease know?
High blood pressure directly increases the risk of coronary heart disease (which leads to heart attack) and stroke, especially when it's present with other risk factors.
Hello,
I read the comment.That is really nice.I like your idea for sharing the information about the diseases.Well many of us may not detect some times the diseases,and get so late for treatments.So please provide more such diseases names and reactions if possible.Thank you for sharing this information.
thanks for this useful information. i like this topic very much its so useful for every one here. thanks again.
Rheumatic heart disease
Rheumatic heart disease is caused by one or more attacks of rheumatic fever, which then do damage to the heart, particularly the heart valves. Rheumatic fever usually occurs in childhood, and may follow a streptococcal infection. In some cases, the infection affects the heart and may result in scarring the valves, weakening the heart muscle, or damaging the sac enclosing the heart. The valves are sometimes scarred so they do not open and close normally.
Hypertensive heart disease
High blood pressure of unknown origin (primary hypertension) or caused by (secondary hypertension) certain specific diseases or infections, such as tumor in the adrenal glands, damage to or disease of the kidneys or their blood vessels. High blood pressure may overburden the heart and blood vessels and cause disease.
Ischemic heart disease
Heart ailments caused by narrowing of the coronary arteries and therefore a decreased blood supply to the heart.
Cerebrovascular disease
Disease pertaining to the blood vessels in the brain. A cerebrovascular accident or stroke is the result of an impeded blood supply to some part of the brain.
Inflammatory heart disease
Inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis), the membrane sac (pericarditis) which surround the heart, the inner lining of the heart (endocarditis) or the myocardium (heart muscle). Inflammation may be caused by known toxic or infectious agents or by an unknown origin.
I just knowing that fact that this disease kill that fast,and since there is no certain cure can kill that disease the best idea is take a precautions since the early of time
