What is heart disease?

Heart Disease Defined

What is referred to as ?cardiovascular disease? encompasses hypertension, stroke, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, and rheumatoid heart.
Congestive heart failure is the primary cause of cardiovascular death. Congestive heart failure is an inability of the heart to pump blood adequately, leading to a decrease in blood flow, a backing up of blood into the veins and lungs, and subsequent further weakening of the heart.
Coronary heart disease is impeded blood flow to the network of blood vessels that surround the heart.
