FAQs

Is heart disease a common condition?

Yes, heart disease is one of the most common health conditions globally, and it is a leading cause of death, particularly in developed countries. It affects millions of people each year, with risk increasing with age and lifestyle factors such as diet, smoking, and lack of physical activity.

What are the common types of heart disease?

Common types of heart disease include:

  • Coronary artery disease (CAD): Narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart.
  • Heart failure: A condition where the heart cannot pump blood effectively.
  • Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats, such as atrial fibrillation.
  • Heart valve disease: Damage or dysfunction in one or more of the heart valves.
  • Congenital heart defects: Structural heart problems present at birth

​

What are the symptoms of heart disease?

Symptoms of heart disease can vary depending on the specific condition but may include chest pain or discomfort (angina), shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, irregular heartbeats, swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet, and pain in the arms, neck, jaw, or back. In some cases, heart disease may present no symptoms until a heart attack or other serious event occurs.
