Common Types of Heart Disease
Heart disease can appear in various forms, including congenital heart defects present from birth, coronary artery disease caused by plaque buildup, heart failure due to weakened heart muscles, and arrhythmias causing irregular heartbeats. Other conditions include valvular heart disease, aortic aneurysms, and heart infections like pericarditis, myocarditis, and endocarditis, which can severely impact heart function if left untreated.
