Heart disease is a term used to describe several conditions affecting the heart. Many people do not realize they are at risk for heart disease. More people die each year from heart disease than from any other cause.
Cardiovascular disease usually describes conditions that can lead to a heart attack or stroke, like narrowed or blocked blood vessels. Heart disease is broader and includes heart infections and conditions affecting heart rhythm. Coronary heart disease is another term used for heart disease and cardiovascular disease.
A heart attack happens when blood flow to part of the heart is blocked. If blood flow is blocked for long enough that part of the heart is damaged or dies. The medical term for this is myocardial infarction. Coronary artery disease can lead to a heart attack.
When someone has coronary artery disease, it means they have plaque that has grown in the coronary arteries. This plaque narrows the arteries and limits blood flow to the heart. It also limits oxygen to the heart. Limited blood and oxygen can cause a heart attack.
The key to preventing a heart attack is to reduce your risk factors. Many risk factors can be reduced by quitting smoking, lowering cholesterol, controlling high blood pressure, maintaining a healthy weight and exercising.
Many people do not know their disease risk factors. Some risk factors, like age and genetics, cannot be changed. Other risk factors can be reduced by making lifestyle changes. The more risk factors you have, the more likely you are to develop heart disease.
