Some of the most common cardiovascular conditions are:
A condition that occurs when arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed due to atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in the arteries).
A condition characterised by chest pain (or radiating discomfort) due to narrowed arteries squeezing the heart's blood supply.
A condition that can be present as either unexpected chest pain or a sudden and severe worsening of existing angina symptoms.
A potentially fatal condition that occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is disrupted completely.
It is a medical condition that adversely affects the inability of the heart to pump enough blood to meet the body’s requirements. It occurs due to the weakening of the heart muscles which may be a result of coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, or heart muscle damage from infections or toxins.
The condition occurs when an anomaly in the heart's electrical system disrupts its rhythm, causing it to beat too fast(tachycardia), too slow(bradycardia), or irregularly (arrhythmia).
The disease involves dysfunction of the heart valves, which control the blood flow to the heart. It can be a result of congenital defects, infections, or age-related changes causing narrowing or leakage of the valves.
- Congenital Heart Conditions
It is a common heart related birth defect that affects a baby's heart structure and function.
- Inherited Heart Conditions
These are cardiovascular problems that are passed down through genes (inherited).
