I’m doing a paper on cardiovascular diseases, and I’m not sure I understand the difference between coronary heart disease & ischemic heart disease. Aren’t they both caused by a lack of blood/oxygen to the heart?? Please explain!!!

I have Valvular heart disease and now sharp pain under my left armpit. should I get help?

Heart Disease
Ashley E asked:


I’m trying to avoid going to the doctor because my insurance is throwing a fit… but I just got diagnosed with valvular heart disease a few months ago. I have regurgitation in my aortic, pulmonary, and mitric valves, and now I’m experiencing a sharp, stabbing pain under my left armpit towards my shoulder. Is it related, or could I have just pulled a muscle? Any ideas on what it could be are very welcome!

Is WPW syndrome considered to be a type of heart disease?

Heart Disease
Mr__Cool37 asked:


I have this medication that says don’t take if you have heart disease. I have wpw syndrome, which is a sort of irregular heartbeat, nothing serious. Can i take the medication?
Thank you for your answers… I know what wpw syndrome is, after all i’m the one that has it. The question is, Is it a type of heart disease or not? If you’re answer is to consult a doctor, then don’t answer. I want to know if it’s considered to be a type of heart disease. yes or no. Thank you very much.
