The first type of heart disease you need to know is coronary heart. Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) or coronary artery occurs when the arteries in the heart narrow or become blocked. Symptoms of this type of heart disease include chest pain, feeling of pressure or squeezing in the chest, shortness of breath, nausea, and digestive or gas disturbances. If left untreated, this condition can lead to complications such as a heart attack.

A heart attack is a condition where there is a blockage in the coronary arteries. As a result, oxygen to the heart is hindered and blood clots occur. This condition is fatal because the heart does not receive enough oxygen supply from the blood flow to the heart.
A heart attack does not immediately kill the sufferer. During a heart attack, the part of the heart that does not receive oxygen will continue to experience damage in the form of death of heart muscle. If not immediately treated, this condition can lead to death.

Cardiac arrest or cardiac arrest is a condition in which the heart suddenly stops beating due to a disruption of the electrical rhythm in the heart muscle. This condition causes the heart to be unable to beat normally.
Unlike a heart attack that occurs within hours, cardiac arrest is a complete cessation of heartbeats. This condition often occurs without warning. It is triggered by damage to the heart, resulting in arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat. In a matter of seconds, a person can lose consciousness and have no pulse.
Furthermore, another type of heart disease that you need to know is heart valve disease. The heart has four valves that open and close the direct flow of blood between the four chambers of the heart, the lungs, and the blood vessels. Defects can make the valves difficult to open and close properly. When this happens, blood flow can be blocked or blood can leak. The causes of heart valve disease include infections such as rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, or as a result of a heart attack.

The next type of heart disease is heart failure. This condition occurs when the heart pump weakens, making it unable to pump enough blood to the entire body. Heart failure can be caused by hypertension, anemia, and heart disease. Symptoms of heart failure that you need to know include shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs and ankles. These symptoms can develop gradually or occur suddenly.
One of the most common types of heart disease is congenital heart disease. Generally, this disease is caused by abnormalities present at birth. The most common abnormalities include defects in the septum or walls of the heart chambers, such as Atrial Septal Defect, Ventricular Septal Defect, and patent ductus arteriosus. In addition, congenital heart disease is caused by disruptions in fetal development and various other relatively rare heart abnormalities.

Pericarditis is a type of heart disease caused by irritation and inflammation of the thin sac-like layer that surrounds the heart, called the pericardium. The pericardium functions to keep the heart in place and protect it from friction or the spread of infection from other tissues. Symptoms of this disease include chest pain that feels like a stabbing sensation in the middle or left side, shortness of breath, palpitations, fever, and weakness.
Â

Lastly, a type of heart disease that you need to be aware of is a heart tumor. This disease is characterized by the abnormal growth of tissue on the walls of the heart. Tumors can be malignant or benign. These tumors can grow on the heart muscle or the protective layer of the heart (pericardium). When the size of the tumor increases, it can compress the heart walls and make it difficult for the heart to pump blood.
Oftentimes, patients are unaware that they have a heart tumor. However, if blood flow becomes blocked, patients may experience increased pressure in the left atrium, leading to shortness of breath, dizziness, and coughing.
Those are some types of heart disease that you need to know. Therefore, it is advisable to always maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent these diseases. Hope it is beneficial.
