Heart disease is a general term that refers to a variety of acute and chronic medical conditions that affect one or more of the components of the heart. About 2 million of people of America are suffering from heart problems.

 

Heart is the muscular fist sized organ that lies in the left side of chest cavity. Heart supplies the blood to all parts of body. It continuously pumps blood beating as many 100,000 times a day. A cardiovascular disease is not a single ailment but it is a disorder of heart and circulatory system.

 

Heart disease can be referred to any kind of problem associated with heart or damage of heart valves, lining, arteries or electrical system. A person can suffer from different kinds of cardiovascular problems at the same time. A person can even born with diseased heart or develop heart disease later. Here are some of the heart diseases mentioned below:

 

Angina-It is a symptom of myocardial ischemia that usually caused by coronary atherosclerosis. Patient of this disease caused with feeling of pressure in chest and also shortness of breath. It is possible that a patient may sweat while exercising.



Heart failure-heart failure is also called congestive heart failure and on the other hand congestive cardiac failure is a condition which results from any structural and functional cardiac disorder. It impairs the ability of heart to fill with or pump a sufficient amount of blood throughout the body.

 

Heart murmur- It is a term that is used to describe the sound that the heart makes and when it appears different to normal beating. A heart murmur may possibly indicate Arrhythmias which is heartbeat irregularity or other heart disorder, but some heart murmurs may be normal. Any heart murmur needs prompt professional medical investigation.

 

Atherosclerosis- It is also known as “hardening of the arteries”, and caused by the gradual buildup of fats, cholesterol and other materials in the arteries. The build up causes the artery to narrow and become less flexible. Arteries loose elasticity as a natural part of the aging process. However, poor diet and smoking speed up this process. Diabetes and high blood pressure are also risk factors leading to atherosclerosis.

 

Hypertension- Hypertension is the condition of having high blood pressure. It is very common and affects around 50 million Americans of which about 30% are not yet diagnosed. Hypertension is an under-diagnosed condition as it causes damage to the body with no symptoms. It has been called a “silent killer” for this reason. Correct diagnosis of the cause of high blood pressure is important. Most cases of chronic hypertension are “primary hypertension” but a number of them are “secondary hypertension” where the rise in blood pressure is caused by another underlying condition. Hypertension during pregnancy is another common special case; it is called gestational hypertension.

There are many reasons by which people can be affected by heart disease. By knowing these reasons one can start taking precaution before reaching such dire state. Reasons for having heart disease may be very common but the repercussions of the same are very bad for your health.

Age can be a major factor for you to suffer from heart disease. If statistics is anything to go by then it has come to notice that more than 83% of people who suffer from heart disease or any ailments relating to heart is either 65 or older. Being of male gender also causes heart problems as they are prone to die of heart attack in an early age. After menopause the women chances of having heart attacks increases but this is not the same with men.

Heredity plays a very important in determining your chances of having a heart problem. Children’s whose parents suffer from heart disease is more likely to be affected by this disease if proper care is not taken. The different races that are around this world among them African American suffers the most due to high blood pressure than Caucasians with higher risk of heart disease. As obesity also causes heart disease, major Americans suffer from it which causes the problem.

Smoking is not good for your health as it causes problems which can lead in a cardiac arrest. Passive smoking is also unhealthy as you are inhaling the fumes from the cigarette which are root cause of the problem. Cholesterol is also an important culprit in causing heart diseases as it gets affected with age, sex, heredity and your diet too.

Blood pressure and lack of physical activity also causes problems. High blood pressure leads to over loading of work to the heart which leads to thickening of heart and chance for stroke, heart attack and heart failure is expected. Stress, diabetes, alcohol are all part in causing the heart problems to you.
