major blood vessels.
💗 Cardiac arrest
Sudden, unexpected loss of
heart function, breathing and consciousness.
💗 Congestive heart failure
A chronic condition in
which the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should.
💗 Arrhythmia
Improper beating of the
heart, whether irregular, too fast or too slow.
💗 Peripheral artery disease
A circulatory condition in
which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs.
💗 Stroke
Damage to the brain from
interruption of its blood supply.
💗 Congenital heart disease
An abnormality in the
heart that develops before birth.
💗 Cardiomyopathy
Diseases of cardiac muscle.
💗 Hypertensive heart disease
Diseases of the heart
secondary to high blood pressure or hypertension.
💗 Heart failure
A clinical syndrome caused
by the inability of the heart to supply sufficient blood to the tissues to meet
their metabolic requirements.
💗 Pulmonary heart disease
A failure at the right
side of the heart with respiratory system involvement.
💗 Cardiac dysrhythmias
Abnormalities of heart
rhythm.
💗 Inflammatory heart disease
- Endocarditis – inflammation of the
inner layer of the heart, the endocardium. The structures most
commonly involved are the heart valves.
- Inflammatory cardiomegaly
- Myocarditis – inflammation of the myocardium,
the muscular part of the heart.
💗 Congenital heart disease
Heart structure malformations existing at
birth.
💗 Rheumatic heart disease
Heart muscles and valves damage due to
rheumatic fever caused by Streptococcus pyogenes a group A streptococcal

Symptoms
A person can have heart disease and not feel sick. Some people with heart disease have symptoms. This is when there are changes or pain in the body to show a disease is there. Some symptoms of heart disease are:
- Pain in the chest--the heart muscle is not getting enough flow to keep it going.
- Trouble breathing--blood may back up into the lungs.
- Palpitations (a feeling that the heart is beating too fast, too hard, or not regularly).
- Swelling of feet or legs--blood is backing up from the heart into the lower body.
- Feeling weak because the body and brain are not getting enough blood to supply them with oxygen.
- Cyanosis (skin turning a blue color) means that too little oxygen is in the bloodstream to supply the cells in the body.
