Heart disease overview
Your heart (“cardio” or “cardiac”) is a complex organ. Broadly speaking, heart disease refers to any condition that causes your heart to not function properly. A wide variety of conditions may affect each individual component of your heart or more than one system can be affected simultaneously.
Some forms of heart disease are present at birth (congenital heart disease), while others develop over time as we age. A cardiac condition or disease affects how well the heart functions and moves blood throughout the body.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. It’s important to learn about your heart to help prevent heart disease. If you have heart disease, you can live a healthier, more active life by learning about your disease and following professional advise.
Without proper treatment, heart problems can reduce your quality of life and can be life threatening. Being aware of the common diseases and their symptoms may help you identify a problem before it’s too late.
Dr. Javier Julian and Dr. Leandro Perez talk about some of the causes, symptoms and treatments options for heart disease.
