A Quick Overview on Heart Disease
<div class="text-justify">

Thinking about organs of the body, the heart happens to be one of the major parts, although I do not like to classify organs in terms of major or minor because everything has a way of connecting together for it to become highly significant.

The presence of heart disease is not just a thing, but it encompasses several conditions that affect how the heart functions, in combination with blood vessel problems, it is also called cardiovascular disease. 
Saying the heart isn't working well means it is finding it difficult to send sufficient blood, nutrients, and oxygen to the body. The heart normally delivers the fuel that keeps the immune system running appropriately. In a situation where there is a distortion with the delivering of the fuel, everything the body systems do gets affected.

These are the types of heart disease that exists; heart valve disease, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, congenital heart disease, pericardium. Over time we will be speaking about each of them in details. Heart disease is not restricted to race or sex, it can affect anyone.

Every form of heart disease comes with its symptoms as well as the treatment. Sweating, shortness of breath, dizziness, chest pain, neck pain, indigestion, difficulty sleeping, fever, exhaustion, lightheaded, and palpitations are expectations that can come from the presence of a heart disease.

At the early stage of a heart disease, fatigue, chest pain, swelling of the legs, dizziness, and shortage of breath are early signs that should be watched out for and reported to a nearby medical center. The causes vary and may include but are not limited to, genetic issues, problems with the kidney, thyroid problems, rheumatic disease, heart muscle scarring, abnormal heart rhythm, heart attacks, pregnancy, some medications, and substance abuse.

Even if we have stated clearly that, heart disease is not a respecter of age or sex, it can also be triggered by some risk factors like inactive lifestyle, type 2 diabetes, genetics, high blood pressure, having a BMI higher than 25, substance abuse disorder, and eating unhealthy meals.

The terrible thing is, that the existence of one type of heart disease could lead to the birth of another type of heart disease, leading to complications that may be life-threatening. Stroke, abnormal heart rhythms, heart attack, heart failure, heart valve disease, damage to the liver or kidney, pulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathy, and cardiac arrest can happen.

Heart disease is a leading cause of death rate, so making an effort to protect the heart is highly important whether there is a diagnosis of heart disease or not, Smoking is very bad for the lungs, it also causes harm to the heart and blood vessels, you shouldn't get into it if you have not started and stop if you are engaging in the act. 

Staying active is essential for fitness, if your job requires staying idle for a long time especially, you must look for time to get engaged in physical activities. Regular check-ups of her health. Checking blood sugar level, blood pressure, and cholesterol level is helpful and if there is a need for improvement or advice, I am certain the doctors would gladly provide it, but you cannot get such sitting on your couch all day, so you must go to them before they can advise on what needs to be done.
