Learn about common heart conditions, their symptoms, and the importance of early detection and treatment.
Arrhythmia is a condition where the heart beats irregularly, too fast, or too slow due to abnormal electrical activity in the heart, while heart block refers to a delay or complete blockage in the electrical signals that control the heart's rhythm, leading to a slow or irregular heartbeat, and potentially causing symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, or fainting.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition where the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of plaque, leading to reduced blood flow and potentially resulting in chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, heart attacks, or other serious heart complications.
Myocardial disease refers to conditions affecting the heart muscle, impairing its ability to pump blood effectively. It can lead to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats and may result from genetic factors, infections, or other heart conditions.
Valvular heart disease is a condition where one or more of the heart's valves are damaged or malfunctioning, leading to disrupted blood flow and increased strain on the heart.
Vascular diseases are a group of conditions that affect the blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries), leading to issues such as poor circulation, blood clots, aneurysms, and narrowed or blocked vessels.
Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump blood efficiently, causing reduced oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues. This results in symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid buildup.
