Common heart diseases include: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) The heart is the body’s main pumping organ, delivering blood to every part, including itself. The arteries that supply blood to the heart can become narrowed or blocked, reducing oxygen and nutrient supply to the heart muscle. This can lead to muscle fatigue, and if left untreated, the heart may stop functioning—leading to life-threatening situations. Diagnosing coronary artery narrowing or blockages early is vital. Angina Angina occurs when narrowed arteries reduce the heart’s blood supply, causing chest discomfort or pain. It’s a symptom of CAD and a warning sign that the heart isn’t getting enough oxygen.

• Stable Angina: Triggered by predictable activity levels.
• Unstable Angina: Sudden chest pain, worsening over time, possibly occurring at rest and lasting up to 10 minutes.

Heart attack (Myocardial Infarction) A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart muscle is completely blocked. Plaque buildup and clot formation can obstruct coronary arteries, damaging heart muscle and leading to serious complications if untreated. Heart failure Overworking heart muscles can weaken them over time, reducing pumping efficiency. This results in fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention—indicating the heart cannot meet the body’s oxygen and blood demands. Arrhythmia (Abnormal heart rhythms) Electrical signal disruptions in the heart can cause rapid, slow, or irregular heartbeats—known as arrhythmias. Valve disease Heart valves ensure one-way blood flow. Any valve malfunction may cause regurgitation or restricted flow, leading to breathlessness, swelling, palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, or fainting. Conclusion Heart conditions vary in severity and treatment needs, from lifestyle adjustments to advanced interventions like open-heart surgery.
