Definition :A structural or functional abnormality of the heart, or of the blood vessels supplying the heart, that impairs its normal function.

Types of heart disease Coronary heart disease Cardiomyopathy Cardiovascular disease Ischaemic heart disease Heart failure Hypertensive heart disease Inflammatory heart disease Valvular heart disease

Coronary heart disease Coronary heart disease refers to the failure of the coronary circulation to supply adequate circulation to cardiac muscle and surrounding tissue

Symptoms:affect the blood vessels. affect the heart muscle itself.

Cardiovascular disease is any of a number of specific diseases that affect the heart itself and/or the blood vessel system, especially the veins and arteries leading to and from the heart

Heart failureHeart failure, also called congestive heart failure (or CHF), and congestive cardiac failure (CCF), is a condition that can result from any structural or functional cardiacdisorder that impairs the ability of the heart to fill with or pump a sufficient amount ofblood throughout the body. Therefore leading to the heart and body's failure.Cor pul monale, a failure of the right side of the heart

Hypertensive heart diseaseHypertensive heart disease is heart disease caused by high blood pressure, especially localised high blood pressure. Conditions that can be caused by hypertensive heart disease include:Left ventricular hypertrophy Coronary heart disease (Congestive) heart failure Hypertensive cardio myopathy Cardiac arrhythmias

Heart disease factsCoronary artery disease is the most common cause of death in the United States. The testing strategy to confirm the diagnosis and plan appropriate treatment needs to be individualized for each patient diagnosed with heart disease.

Risk factors

Age :age is an important risk factor in developing cardiovascular diseases. It is estimated that 82 percent of people who die of coronary heart disease are 65.Aging is also associated with changes in the mechanical and structural properties of the vascular wall, which leads to the loss of arterial elasticity.Gender

> Men are at greater risk of heart disease than women.Air pollutionEffect of air pollution.
