Various Types of Heart Disease

It’s important to understand the different types of heart disease that exist as well as learn as much as you can about what causes them and how they can be prevented. It has become common knowledge that heart disease is the number one killer in the US as well as many other countries and the saddest part of this fact is that it could be preventable.

The most common types of heart disease are:

• Congenital heart disease
• Congestive heart failure
• Coronary heart disease
• Pulmonary heart disease
• Rheumatic heart disease

The more you learn about these types of heart disease and what causes them, the more likely you will be to avoid getting them yourself. Even when certain types of heart disease cannot be completely avoided, you can still lessen your degree of heart disease when you learn more.

Congenital heart disease refers to that which is hereditary. For example, if a first degree family member of yours has heart disease, you are at an increased risk of having it too. Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart doesn’t pump enough blood to the other organs in the body. This leads the heart to work too hard and not very efficiently which can cause problems.

Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease and you’ve probably heard quite a bit about it. It is also the leading cause of heart attacks and often heart attacks come without warning. High cholesterol is a leading cause of this type of heart disease.

Pulmonary heart disease occurs when there is a lung or pulmonary disorder where the blood flow to the lungs is slowed or even blocked. Rheumatic heart disease is rarer than the other types and comes from strep infection.

The type of heart disease will help determine the treatment for it and it will also affect the types of symptoms you have. Remember that heart disease can be prevented in most cases and the more you learn about the types of heart disease, the better capable you will be of preventing them.
