Heart disease describes a range of conditions that affect your heart. Diseases under the heart disease umbrella include blood vessel diseases, such as coronary artery disease; heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias); and heart defects you\u2019re born with (congenital heart defects), among others.<\/p>
The term \u201cheart disease\u201d is often used interchangeably with the term \u201ccardiovascular disease.\u201d Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions, such as those that affect your heart\u2019s muscle, valves or rhythm, also are considered forms of heart disease.<\/p>
Many forms of heart disease can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle choices.Symptoms<\/p>
Heart disease symptoms depend on what type of heart disease you have.<\/p>
Cardiovascular disease symptoms may be different for men and women. For instance, men are more likely to have chest pain; women are more likely to have other symptoms along with chest discomfort, such as shortness of breath, nausea and extreme fatigue.<\/p>
Symptoms can include:<\/p>
You might not be diagnosed with cardiovascular disease until you have a heart attack, angina, stroke or heart failure. It\u2019s important to watch for cardiovascular symptoms and discuss concerns with your doctor. Cardiovascular disease can sometimes be found early with regular evaluations.<\/p>
A heart arrhythmia is an abnormal heartbeat. Your heart may beat too quickly, too slowly or irregularly. Heart arrhythmia symptoms can include:<\/p>
Serious congenital heart defects \u2014 defects you\u2019re born with \u2014 usually become evident soon after birth. Heart defect symptoms in children could include:<\/p>
Less serious congenital heart defects are often not diagnosed until later in childhood or during adulthood. Signs and symptoms of congenital heart defects that usually aren\u2019t immediately life-threatening include:<\/p>
In early stages of cardiomyopathy, you may have no symptoms. As the condition worsens, symptoms may include:<\/p>
Endocarditis is an infection that affects the inner membrane that separates the chambers and valves of the heart (endocardium). Heart infection symptoms can include:<\/p>
The heart has four valves \u2014 the aortic, mitral, pulmonary and tricuspid valves \u2014 that open and close to direct blood flow through your heart. Valves may be damaged by a variety of conditions leading to narrowing (stenosis), leaking (regurgitation or insufficiency) or improper closing (prolapse).<\/p>
Depending on which valve isn\u2019t working properly, valvular heart disease symptoms generally include:<\/p>
Seek emergency medical care if you have these heart disease symptoms:<\/p>
Heart disease is easier to treat when detected early, so talk to your doctor about your concerns regarding your heart health. If you\u2019re concerned about developing heart disease, talk to your doctor about steps you can take to reduce your heart disease risk. This is especially important if you have a family history of heart disease.<\/p>
If you think you may have heart disease, based on new signs or symptoms you\u2019re having, make an appointment to see your doctor.<\/p>
