What is Hear diseases & types
Unlike cardiovascular disease, which describes problems with the blood vessels and circulatory system as well as the heart, heart disease refers to issues and deformities in the heart itself.
Coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, and myocardial infarction are some of heart disease.
Quitting smoking and regularly exercising can help prevent heart disease.
There are many types of heart disease that affect different parts of the organ and occur in different ways.

Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat.
There are several ways in which a heartbeat can lose its regular rhythm. includes these
⇰ bradycardia, when the heart beats too slowly.
⇰tachycardia, when the heart beats too fast
⇰fibrillation, when the heartbeat is irregular
⇰Arrhythmia occur when the electrical impulses in the heart that coordinate the           heartbeat do not work properly. These make the heart beat in a way it should not, whether that be too fast, too slowly, or too erratically.
⇰Irregular heartbeats are common, and all people experience them. They feel like a fluttering or a racing heart. However, when they change too much or occur because of a damaged or weak heart, they need to be taken more seriously and treated.

Coronary artery disease: The coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with nutrients and oxygen by circulating blood.

Coronary arteries can become diseased or damaged, usually because of plaque deposits that contain cholesterol. Plaque buildup narrows the coronary arteries, and this causes the heart to receive less oxygen and nutrients.

Heart failure:heart failure occurs when the heart does not pump blood around the body efficiently.

⇰The left or right side of the heart might be affected. Rarely, both sides are. Coronary artery disease or high blood pressure can, over time, leave the heart too stiff or weak to fill and pump properly.

Mitral valve prolapse:The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle does not fully close, it bulges upwards, or back into the atrium. In most people, the condition is not life-threatening, and no treatment is required. Some people, especially if the condition is marked by mitral regurgitation, may require treatment

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: This is a genetic disorder in which the wall of the left ventricle thickens, making it harder for blood to be pumped out of the heart. This is the leading cause of sudden death in athletes. A parent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has a 50 percent chance of passing the disorder on to their children.

                                                         Symptoms
                    

⇰The symptoms of heart disease depend on which condition is affecting an individual.

⇰common symptoms include chest pain, breathlessness, and heart palpitations. The chest pain common to many types of heart disease is known as angina, or angina pectoris, and occurs when a part of the heart does not receive enough oxygen.

Angina can be triggered by stressful events or physical exertion and normally lasts under 10 minutes.

Heart attacks can also occur as a result of different types of heart disease. The signs of a heart attack are similar to angina except that they can occur during rest and tend to be more severe.

The symptoms of a heart attack can sometimes resemble indigestion. Heartburn and a stomach ache can occur, as well as a heavy feeling in the chest.

Other symptoms of a heart attack include:

➤pain that travels through the body, for example from the chest to the arms, neck, back, abdomen, or jaw
➤lightheadedness and dizzy sensations
➤profuse sweating
➤nausea and vomiting
➤Heart failure is also an outcome of heart disease, and breathlessness can occur when the heart becomes too weak to circulate blood.

Some heart conditions occur with no symptoms at all, especially in older adults and individuals with diabetes.

The term 'congenital heart disease' covers a range of conditions, but the general symptoms include:

⇰sweating

⇰high levels of fatigue

⇰fast heartbeat and breathing

⇰breathlessness

⇰chest pain

⇰A blue tint to the skin

⇰clubbed fingernails

                                         Heart diseases Causes

There are a number of lifestyle choices that can increase the risk of heart disease.

➤high blood pressure and cholesterol
➤smoking
➤overweight and obesity
➤diabetes
➤family history
➤ diet of junk food
➤age
➤ history of preeclampsia during pregnancy
 ➤staying in a stationary position for extended periods of time, such as sitting at work

                                   Treatment for heart diseases
                                                
➤Eat a balanced diet. Stick to low-fat, high-fiber foods and be sure to consume five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables each day. Increase your intake of whole grains and reduce the amount of salt and sugar in the diet. Make sure the fats in the diet are mostly unsaturated.
➤Exercise regularly. This will strengthen the heart and circulatory system, reduce cholesterol, and maintain blood pressure.
➤Quit Smoking is a major risk factor for heart and cardiovascular conditions.
➤Reduce the intake of alcohol
➤Control conditions that affect heart health as a complication, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
➤Maintain a healthy body weight for your height

 ⧫Some types of heart disease, such as those that are present from birth, cannot be prevented.

  Medication:
    A very wide range of medication is available for the majority of heart conditions. Many are prescribed to prevent blood clots, but some serve other purposes.

The main medications in use are:

statins, for lowering cholesterol
blood thinners, such as warfarin, for preventing blood clots
beta-blockers, for treating heart attack, heart failure, and high blood pressure.
