Atherosclerosis – type of
arteriosclerosis where deposited fat
hardens and becomes plaque on
arterial walls. Plaque build-up can
begin as early as two years old.
Types of Cardiovascular Disease

Coronary Heart Disease - coronary arteries


(pathway of blood to the heart muscles)
are narrowed or blocked; a disease of the
coronary vessels and not the heart.

Major Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease


Smoking Age
Diabetes Obesity
Hypertension Physical Inactivity
Cholesterol
Types of Cardiovascular Disease

Heart Attack – cardiac


muscle failure due to lack of
blood flow to the heart. Signs
include painful pressure in
the center of the chest
spreading to the shoulders,
neck and jaw ,
lightheadedness, sweating,
nausea, and shortness of
breath
Types of Cardiovascular Disease

Angina Pectoris – Chest pain from


narrowed coronary arteries due to
inadequate oxygen for the heart.
Angina attack usually lasts less than
five minutes.
Types of Cardiovascular Disease

Rheumatic fever – the


immune system attacks the
heart and can cause fever,
weakness, and damage to
its valves. It is common
among teens and results to a
permanent damage known
as rheumatic heart disease.
Types of Cardiovascular Disease

Heart Rhythm
Abnormalities/Arrhythmia –
irregular heart rhythm (i.e.,
bradycardia, tachycardia,
palpitation) brought about by
faulty electrical conduction
system that is worsened by
uncontrolled stress levels and
high caffeine intake.
Types of Cardiovascular Disease

Congestive Heart Failure –


the heart is not able or below
its normal capacity to pump
blood , causing liquid to
accumulate in the lungs and
other areas of the body.
Reducing salt and salty foods
help manage this condition.
