Understanding Heart Disease and Effective Prevention Strategies
Heart disease encompasses a range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. Here’s a closer look at the main types and how to prevent them:
Types of Heart Disease
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
The most prevalent heart condition, CAD occurs when arteries become hardened and narrow, restricting blood flow to the heart. This can lead to:- Angina: Characterized by chest pain, it may feel like squeezing in the chest and can extend to the arms, neck, jaw, and back. It's often mistaken for indigestion and signals a potential future heart attack.
- Heart Attack: Results from completely blocked or severely damaged arteries.
Heart Failure
This condition arises when the heart can't pump blood effectively, depriving major organs of oxygen. Symptoms include:- Shortness of breath
- Swelling in legs, ankles, and feet
- Extreme fatigue
Heart Arrhythmia
An irregular heartbeat, this can cause:- Dizziness
- Fainting
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
While some arrhythmias are harmless, others require a pacemaker.

Heart disease is a leading cause of death for women, with one in four women in America affected. In 2004, cardiovascular disease claimed nearly 60% more female lives than all cancers combined. Women generally face a higher mortality rate from heart attacks than men.10 Ways to Prevent Heart Disease
