Heart Disease
Heart disease is largely preventable.
Heart disease is a term used to describe a range of diseases that affect your heart, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, heart arrhythmias, endocarditis and congenital heart defects. Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke.
