The basics of heart disease

Cardiovascular or heart disease is used to describe a number of conditions that affect the way your heart and circulatory system function. Some of the most common heart diseases include:

• Coronary heart disease
• Arrhythmias
• Heart failure
• Cardiomyopathy
• Congenital heart defects
• Pericardial disease
• Heart valve disease

Causes of heart disease

While genetics may predispose you to heart disease, there are several factors that can increase your likelihood of developing heart problems. For example, there is a solid link between diabetes and heart disease. Studies have also shown that stress and heart disease can also go hand in hand. Other heart disease causes may include:

• Smoking
• High blood pressure
• Poor diet
• Lack of exercise
