The most prevalent health problems
There are many types of heart disease and each one comes with its unique range of symptoms. However, knowing the general signs of a heart problem can help you ask for a specialist’s help before it’s too late.
As I always like to say, prevention is always easier than treatment!
Some conditions are far more common than others, though. Here are the four most prevalent heart illnesses in our country:
- Heart failure, which occurs when your heart can no longer pump blood towards the rest of the body properly; don’t let the name fool you! Heart failure can be a long-term illness with silent symptoms and it’s also manageable with proper treatment.
- Heart attack, meaning that your heart stops receiving blood (and therefore oxygen). Depending on how much blood gets to the heart, parts of the muscle will die.
- Coronary heart disease, which happens when there’s a plaque buildup in the coronary arteries of the heart. This condition causes the biggest number of fatalities.
- Stroke, which interrupts the blood flow from the heart towards the brain either partially or completely.
