Heart disease is a disease that disrupt blood vessel system, or more precisely attack the heart and veins, some examples of heart diseases such as coronary heart disease, heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke, chest pain (usually called "angina") and diseases rheumatic heart.

Coronary heart disease is the most highest in the suffering of people. This disease attacks the blood vessels and can cause heart attacks. Heart attack due to clogged arteries, which inhibit the distribution of oxygen and nutrients to the heart. Stroke is caused by a lack of blood flow to the brain, or sometimes cause bleeding in the brain.

But not all heart disease is caused by disruption of the blood vessels, the following are some other disorders of the heart:

* Abnormal Heart Rhythms
Normally the heart beats 60 to 100 times per minute (or about 100 thousand times each day). A beating heart is not normal is usually called arryhytmia (often also called dysrhythmia). The heart that beats too slow (below 60 beats per minute) is called bradyarrhythmias. While above 100 beats per minute is called tachyarrhytmias.
* Heart Failure
Or heart failure is the most frightening. Not that the heart can not work at all, except that the heart does not beat properly
* Heart Valve Disease
Damage to heart valves. Heart valves are available at the chambers of the heart (our heart has 4 fruit stall) which controls the direction of blood flow to the heart.
* Congenitas Heart Disease
Or so-called disorders of the heart. Attacking 8 to 10 children of every 1000 births. The initial symptoms are usually detected at birth or in childhood. In America approximately 500 thousand people experiencing heart problems during its growth and increased by about 20 thousand people each year.
* Cardiomyopathies
Attack on the heart muscle itself. The people who get this disease usually have an enlarged, reduction in abnormal cardiac and / or even become stiff. Causes the heart to pump abnormally (become weaker). Without good management will lead to cardiomyopathies worse diseases such as heart failure or cause abnormal heart beats.
* Pericarditis
Is an inflammation of the lining surrounding the heart. Rare, usually caused by infection.

There are many factors that cause vulnerability to heart disease. The main factor is the lifestyle problems that cause diseases like building in the body. But there are several factors that can not be changed, such as age or heredity.
