Heart Disease

A lot of people died by the cause of Heart Failure or Heart Disease. Few days past our old neighbor pass away because of this health problem, I was so sad when heard from our neighbors talks about what happened because a day before he was attack by a heart failure I had talk with him and he asked me about my old motor wheel which he want me to give him my old wheel for him to change his old wheel of his tricycle motor. He was still at younger age to die with that disease so I realized that there is no age selected for people to have or attacked with this kind of health problem so let us find ways or research for ways to prevent this kind of killer disease.

What is a Heart Disease?

Cardiovascular disorders (Alternative name) Heart disease is any disorder that affects the heart's ability to function normally. These are the various forms of heart disease:

Alcoholic cardiomyopathy
Aortic regurgitation
Aortic stenosis

Congenital heart disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD)Dilated cardiomyopathy
Endocarditis
Heart attack (myocardial infarction)
Heart failure
Heart tumor
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Idiopathic cardiomyopathy
Ischemic cardiomyopathy
Acute mitral regurgitation
Chronic mitral regurgitation
Mitral stenosis
Mitral valve prolapse
Peripartum cardiomyopathy
Pulmonary stenosis
Stable angina
Unstable angina
Tricuspid regurgitation

Causes, incidence, and risk factors  

The most common cause of heart disease is a narrowing of or blockage in the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle itself (coronary artery disease). Some heart diseases are present at birth (congenital heart disease). Other causes include:

Hypertension
Abnormal heart valve function
Abnormal heart rhythm
Weakening of the heart's pumping ability caused by infection or toxins
