WHAT IS HEART DISEASE?
Heart disease is any disorder that affects the heart. Sometimes the term "heart disease" is used narrowly and incorrectly as a synonym for coronary artery disease.
Heart disease is synonymous with cardiac disease but not with cardiovascular disease which is any disease of the heart or blood vessels.
Heart disease – types of heart disease :
When you think of heart disease, usually people think of coronary artery disease (narrowing of the arteries leading to the heart), but coronary artery disease is just one type of heart disease.
Among the many types of heart disease, see, for example: Angina; Arrhythmia; Congenital heart disease; Coronary artery disease (CAD); Dilated cardiomyopathy; Heart attack (myocardial infarction); Heart failure; Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; Mitral regurgitation; Mitral valve prolapse; and Pulmonary stenosis.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the world.
Heart disease is important to learn about your to help prevent heart disease. And, if you have cardiovascular disease, you can live a healthier, more active life by learning about your heart disease and treatments and by becoming an active participant in your care.
Most famous heart disease :
Coronary Artery heart disease :
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is atherosclerosis, or hardening, of the arteries that provide vital oxygen and nutrients to the heart.
Abnormal Heart Rhythms heart disease.
The heart is an amazing organ. It beats in a steady, even rhythm, about 60 to 100 times each minute (that's about 100,000 times each day!). But, sometimes your heart gets out of rhythm. An irregular or abnormal heartbeat is called an arrhythmia. An arrhythmia heart disease (also called a dysrhythmia) can involve a change in the rhythm, producing an uneven heartbeat, or a change in the rate, causing a very slow or very fast heartbeat.
Heart disease - Heart Failure :
The term "heart failure" can be frightening. It does not mean the heart has "failed" or stopped working. It means the heart does not pump as well as it should.
Heart failure heart disease is a major health problem in the U.S., affecting nearly 5 million Americans. About 550,000 people are diagnosed with heart failure each year.
Heart disease failure is the leading cause of hospitalization in people older than 65.
Congenital Heart Disease :
Congenital heart disease is a type of defect in one or more structures of the heart or blood vessels that occur before birth. It affects about 8 out of every 1,000 children.
In this heart disease - Congenital heart defects may produce symptoms at birth, during childhood and sometimes not until adulthood.
In most cases scientists don't know why they occur. Heredity may play a role as well as exposure to the fetus during pregnancy to certain viral infections, alcohol or drugs.
Cardiomyopathies heart disease:
Cardiomyopathies heart disease are diseases of the heart muscle itself. People with cardiomyopathies heart disease have hearts that are abnormally enlarged, thickened and/or stiffened. As a result, the heart's ability to pump blood is weakened. Without treatment, cardiomyopathies worsen over time and often lead to heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms.
Aorta heart Disease and Marfan syndrome heart disease:
The aorta is the large artery that leaves the heart and provides oxygen-rich blood throughout the body.
Some conditions can cause the aorta to dilate (widen) or dissect (tear), increasing the risk for future life-threatening events
People with aorta heart disease should be treated by an experienced team of cardiovascular specialists and surgeons. Heart disease – other important terms you should know :
Heart disease - Tachycardia is an abnormally rapid beating of the heart, defined as a resting heart rate of 100 or more beats per minute in an average adult.
Heart disease - heart murmur is an extra or unusual sound heard during your heartbeat. Murmurs range from very faint to very loud and sometimes sound like a whooshing or swishing noise. Normal heartbeat sounds—"lub-DUPP" or "lub-DUB"—are the valves closing as blood moves through the heart. (Go to the How the Heart Works section for more information about how a normal heart works.)
Heart disease - Beta blockers are a class of drugs used for various indications, but particularly for the management of cardiac arrhythmias and cardioprotection after myocardial infarction.
Heart disease - Malignant hyperthermia (MH or MHS for "malignant hyperthermia syndrome", or "malignant hyperpyrexia due to anesthesia") is a life-threatening condition resulting from a genetic sensitivity of skeletal muscles to volatile anaesthetics and depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs that occurs during or after anaesthesia. It is related to, but distinct from, the neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
Heart disease -stent is either an expandable wire form or perforated tube (conventionally perforated by means of laser cutting) that is inserted into a natural conduit of the body to prevent or counteract a disease-induced localized flow constriction.
Heart disease - Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a disorder that affects one of your heart's valves — the mitral valve. It occurs when the valve doesn't close correctly, allowing backward leaking of blood in your heart.
DRUG FORM INNOVATION:
Cardiotonic Pill is made under molecule-dispersing technique, so dissolves quickly after being taken, making it more effective. Use it sublingually for a rapid absorption through sublingual vessels, higher efficacy, at the same time avoiding metabolism passage through liver.
INDICATIONS
Cardiotonic Pill can prevent and treat coronary arteriosclerosis and angina pectoris; it has effects in the vasodilatation of the coronary arteries, at the same time it has good effects on Diabetes, Hyperlipidemia, balancing HDL and LDL levels and old age related hypertension.
