Some types of Heart diseases are
1. Coronary heart disease
It also known as coronary artery disease (CAD), it is the most common type of heart disease across the world. It
is a condition in which plaque deposits block the coronary blood vessels leading to a reduced supply of blood and oxygen
to the heart.
2. Angina pectoris
It is a medical term for chest pain that occurs due to insufficient supply of blood to the heart. Also known as
angina, it is a warning signal for heart attack. The chest pain is at intervals ranging for few seconds or minutes.
3. Congestive heart failure
It is a condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to the rest of the body. It is commonly known as
heart failure.
4. Cardiomyopathy
It is the weakening of the heart muscle or a change in the structure of the muscle due to inadequate heart
pumping. Some of the common causes of cardiomyopathy are hypertension, alcohol consumption, viral infections, and
genetic defects.
5. Congenital heart disease
It also known as congenital heart defect, it refers to the formation of an abnormal heart due to a defect in the
structure of the heart or its functioning. It is also a type of congenital disease that children are born with.
6. Arrhythmias
It is associated with a disorder in the rhythmic movement of the heartbeat. The heartbeat can be slow, fast, or
irregular. These abnormal heartbeats are caused by a short circuit in the heart's electrical system.
7. Myocarditis
It is an inflammation of the heart muscle usually caused by viral, fungal, and bacterial infections affecting the
heart. It is an uncommon disease with few symptoms like joins pain, leg swelling or fever that cannot be directly related
to the heart.
