What following type of cardiovascular disease?
1. Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked, often due to a buildup of plaque. This process is called atherosclerosis.
Risk factors for CAD include:
- high blood pressure
- high cholesterol
- diabetes
- smoking
- obesity
- lack of physical activity
- family history of heart disease
Symptoms of CAD can include:
- chest pain (angina)
- shortness of breath
- fatigue
- sweating
- dizziness or fainting
2. Heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is completely blocked, usually by a blood clot forming in a narrowed or blocked coronary artery. A heart attack is a medical emergency and can be life-threatening.
Symptoms of a heart attack can include:
- severe chest pain (angina)
- shortness of breath
- nausea or vomiting
- sweating
- dizziness or fainting
3. Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, either by a blood clot blocking an artery in the brain (ischemic stroke) or by a blood vessel rupturing and bleeding into the brain (hemorrhagic stroke).
Risk factors for stroke include:
- high blood pressure
- diabetes
- smoking
- obesity
- atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm disorder)
- high cholesterol
- family history of stroke
Symptoms of a stroke can include:
- sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body
- sudden vision changes
- sudden difficulty speaking or understanding speech
- confusion
- dizziness or loss of balance
- sudden headache
4. Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.
Risk factors for heart failure include:
- CAD
- heart attack
- diabetes
- high blood pressure
- kidney disease
- obesity
- alcohol abuse
- smoking
Symptoms of heart failure can include:
- shortness of breath
- fatigue
- swelling in the feet, ankles, and abdomen
- rapid or irregular heartbeat
- chest pain
- nausea or vomiting
