1. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
CAD occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become hardened and narrowed. This is due to plaque buildup, leading to reduced blood flow.
2. Heart Attack
A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, happens when a part of the heart muscle is damaged or dies due to lack of blood supply. Immediate medical attention is vital.
3. Heart Failure
Heart failure means the heart can't pump blood as well as it should. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs.
4. Arrhythmia
Arrhythmias are irregular heartbeats. They can be too fast, too slow, or erratic, affecting the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively.
5. Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy involves changes to the heart muscle, which can lead to heart failure. It often results in the heart becoming enlarged, thickened, or stiffened.
6. Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
AFib is a common type of arrhythmia. It causes an irregular and often rapid heart rate, leading to poor blood flow and increased risk of stroke.
7. Valvular Heart Disease
This disease affects the heart valves. It can involve stenosis (narrowing), regurgitation (leakage), or prolapse (improper closing), impacting blood flow.
