Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)- Coronary Artery Disease happens when the arteries that supply blood to heart muscles harden and narrow. This is primarily due to the buildup of cholesterol and other material, called plaque, on the inner walls of the arteries. As the buildup grows, less blood flows through the arteries. As a result, the heart muscles cannot get the oxygenated blood it needs. This can lead to chest pain (angina) or a heart attack.

Heart Attack- A heart attack is when blood vessels that supply blood to the heart are blocked, preventing enough oxygen from getting to the heart muscles. The heart muscle dies or becomes permanently damaged.

High Blood Pressure- Hypertension is high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries as it flows through them. If untreated it may lead to coronary heart disease, heart attack, stroke, or heart failure.

Ischemic Heart Disease- Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD), or Myocardial Ischemia, is a disease characterized by reduced blood supply to the heart muscle, usually due to Coronary Artery Disease.

Tachycardia- Tachycardia is when heart rate is faster than the normal. Tachycardia may cause no symptoms or complications but at the same time it may also seriously disrupt normal heart function, increase the risk of stroke, or cause sudden cardiac arrest or death.

Rheumatic Heart Disease- Rheumatic heart disease is a complication of rheumatic fever in which the heart valves are damaged. Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory disease that begins with a strep throat. It can affect connective tissue throughout the body, especially in the heart, joints, brain and skin.

Pulmonary Heart Disease- Pulmonary Heart Disease is an obstruction of a blood vessel in the lungs, usually due to a blood clot, which blocks a coronary artery.
