What is heart disease?

  • Narrowing of your arteries (atherosclerosis)
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • Abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) 
  • Heart valve problems
  • High cholesterol 

 

These issues, among others, can add strain on your heart and increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and other heart disease-related complications.
