Obviously we will do anything to have a healthy heart, but what kind of disease that attacks the heart of it? many kinds of heart disease. The sufferers are also often exposed to more than one disorder (complication). Here are some types of heart disease you need to know. This list is just part of a dozen other types of heart problems that can threaten us.
1. Atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is a thickening of the inner walls of the arteries due to deposits of plaque (fat, cholesterol and cell waste, etc.) that inhibit and block the blood supply to muscle cells. Atherosclerosis can occur in all parts of the body. If there is at the heart artery wall, it is called coronary heart disease (coronary artery disease) or ischemic heart disease.
Atherosclerosis place and cause many chronic diseases. Atherosclerosis starts from the lesions and cracks in the walls of blood vessels, mainly because of strong pressure on the heart vessel. In the next stage, the body tries to recover by placing fatty substances in the blood vessels to close the rift. Gradually, as the process is repeated fracturing and closure, fatty substances that can close the heart vessels.
One symptom is angina pectoris cardiac atherosclerosis, ie pain / discomfort in the heart and chest area due to reduced blood supply to the heart muscle. Angina can occur both during exercise and rest. If continued, angina can develop into a dangerous acute myocardial infarction.
2. Acute myocardial infarction
Myocardial infarction is the death of heart muscle due to blockage in the coronary arteries. Heart muscles are not supplied blood will be damaged or sudden death.
3. Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy is the damage / disorder of heart muscle that causes the heart's walls do not move perfectly in a siphon and pump blood. People with cardiomyopathy are often at risk of developing heart failure and sudden arritmia. Cardiomyopathy is still subdivided into kardiomipati congestive type, hypertrophic, restrictive and peripartum.
4. Arritmia
Arritmia mean abnormal heart rhythms, which can be caused by a disruption of excitatory and delivery of cardiac excitatory light or heavy.
5. Congestive Heart Failure.
Heart failure is the inability of the heart to pump blood effectively throughout the body. The heart is said to fail not because it stopped working, but because it is not pumping as strong as it should be. As a result, blood can be turned into the lungs and other body parts.
6. Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is a disorder that interferes with the heart rhythm of atrial electric. Disruption of electrical impulses causes irregular heart muscle contraction and pump blood inefficiently. Consequently, the atrium of the heart is not completely emptied of blood leading to the porch (the ventricles). Atrial fibrillation is usually associated with many other disorders, including cardiomyopathy, coronary, ventricular hypertrophy, etc.. Hyperthyroidism and alcohol poisoning can also cause atrial fibrillation.
7. Heart Inflammation
Heart inflammation may occur in the wall of the heart (myocarditis), the membrane that surrounds the heart (pericarditis), or the inside (endocarditis). Inflammation of the heart can be caused by toxins or infections.
8. Rheumatic Heart Disease
Rheumatic heart disease is damage to the heart valve due to rheumatic fever, caused by streptococcal bacteria.
9. Heart Valve Abnormalities
Heart valve serves to control the direction of blood flow within the heart. Cardiac valve abnormalities that could interfere with the flow, partly because the reduction (stenosis), leakage (regurgiasi), or not completely closed (prolapsis). Valve abnormalities may occur as a congenital birth or because of infection and treatment side effects.
its all the distractions that can affect our heart ... so always keep our heart healthy ...
