What Is Heart Disease?HEART DISEASE / CARDIVASCULAR DISEASE : is a class of diseases that affects the heart and blood vessel many of which are related to a process called atherosclerosis.CARDIO : relates to the heart. VASCULAR : relates to the veins and arteries. ATHEROSCLEROSIS : is a condition that develops when a substance called plaque builds up in the walls of the arteries This buildup narrows the arteries, making it harder for blood to flow through. If a blood clot forms, it can stop the blood flow.

TYPES OF HEART DISEASE : Coronary artery disease Heart attack Arrhythmias Hole in heart

The usual cause is the buildup of plaque. This causes coronary arteries to narrow, limiting blood flow to the heart.Coronary artery disease can range from no symptoms, to chest pain, to a heart attack.Treatments include lifestyle changes, medications, angioplasty and surgery.

Coronary artery disease :Can have no symptoms, but people may experience:Pain areas:in the chestPain types:can be burning in the chestGastrointestinal:nausea or vomitingHeart:fast heart rate or heart attackAlso common:shortness of breath or sweating

A heart attack is a medical emergency. A heart attack usually occurs when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the heart. Without blood, tissue loses oxygen and dies.

Symptoms include tightness or pain in the chest, neck, back or arms, as well as fatigue, lightheadedness, abnormal heartbeat and anxiety. Women are more likely to have atypical symptoms than men.

Treatment ranges from lifestyle changes and cardiac rehabilitation to medications, stents and bypass surgery.

HEART ATTACK:

Symptoms include tightness or pain in the chest, neck, back or arms, as well as fatigue, lightheadedness, abnormal heartbeat and anxiety. Women are more likely to have atypical symptoms than men.Pain types:can be burning in the chest, crushing, like a clenched fist in the chest, radiating from the chest, sudden in the chest, or mildPain circumstances:can occur during restWhole body:dizziness, fatigue, light-headedness, clammy skin, cold sweat, or sweatingGastrointestinal:indigestion, nausea, or vomitingChest:discomfort, fullness, or tightnessNeck:discomfort or tightnessArm:discomfort or tightnessAlso common:anxiety, feeling of impending doom, sensation of an abnormal heartbeat, shortness of breath, or shoulder discomfort

SYMPTOMS OF HEART ATTACK :

ARRHYTHMIAS :

An arrhythmia (ah-RITH-me-ah) is a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm.

A heartbeat that is too fast is called tachycardia (TAK-ih-KAR-de-ah). A heartbeat that is too slow is called bradycardia (bray-de-KAR-de-ah).

Most arrhythmias are harmless, but some can be serious or even life threatening. During an arrhythmia, the heart may not be able to pump enough blood to the body. Lack of blood flow can damage the brain, heart, and other organs
