Disease Description
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.
Apart from congenital heart diseases, in which the person is born with the heart disease, three most common types of acquired heart disease are Coronary Artery Disease, if they become blocked, blood cannot flow through them normally. Blocked arteries in the heart are often the caused by smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and inherited traits from parents. Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) – This is a condition that means that the heart is not pumping at normal levels. Bad Heart Rhythms – This is a problem with electrical activity in the heart. This can make the heart beat too fast or too slow.
A person can have heart disease and not feel sick. Some people with heart disease have symptoms. 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, Swelling of feet or legs, feeling weak, Cyanosis (skin turning a blue color) means that too little oxygen is in the bloodstream to supply the cells in the body.
Cardiovascular diseases remain the biggest cause of deaths worldwide, though over the last two decades.
