PROBLEMS OF HEART DISEASES /CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

Heart disease (also known as cardiovascular  disease)  involves diseases  related to  the heart, the blood vessels (arteries,capillaries, and veins) or both. It  affects the cardiovascular system, principally cardiac disease, vascular diseases of the brain and kidney, and peripheral arterial disease(affects peripheral organs e.g legs)

PROBLEMS OF HEART DISEASES :


●Coronary (used for something related to heart)artery disease ,also known as coronary heart disease and ischemic heart disease
📍diseases of cardiac muscle-Cardiomyopathy 
📍diseases of the heart due to high blood pressure- Hypertensive heart disease
📍Heart failure
📍  failure at the right side of the heart involving respiratory system- Pulmonary heart disease
📍  abnormalities of heart rhythm- Cardiac dysrhythmias
📍Inflammatory heart  disease
📍inflammation of the inner layer of the heart, the endocardium. The structures most commonly involved are the heart valves- Endocarditis 
📍Inflammatory cardiomegalyMyocarditis – inflammation of themyocardium, the muscular part of the heart.
Valvular heart disease
📍Cerebrovascular disease – disease of blood vessels that supply blood to the brain such as stroke
📍Peripheral arterial disease – disease of blood vessels that supply blood to the arms and legs
📍Congenital heart disease – heart structure malformations existing at birth
📍Rheumatic heart disease – heart muscles and valves damage due to rheumatic fever caused by Streptococcus pathogenes a group A streptococcal infection.

      Cardiovascular disease involves large types of severe diseases. .So no alternative to prevention.
