Heart Disease
Heart disease is a general term that refers to a variety of conditions that can affect the heart's structure and function. It can include problems such as narrowed or blocked blood vessels, heart rhythm disturbances, heart valve problems, and congenital heart defects. These conditions can affect the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently, which can lead to a range of symptoms and health complications. Heart disease is often associated with lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and high blood pressure, but can also have genetic or other underlying causes.
What is a heart attack? Heart attacks, or acute myocardial infarction, sometimes myocardial infarction or just "MI", is death of heart muscle cells due to a lack in blood flow.
