Symptoms of heart disease and prevention methods 

Cardiovascular Disease - CVD Symptoms
The symptoms of heart disease vary according to the disease, and they are as follows
Vascular heart disease is caused by narrowing, blockage, or stiffness of blood vessels, resulting in the heart, brain, or other organs in the body not receiving enough blood.

Symptoms of cardiovascular disease include

| --- | Chest pain (angina pectoris)
| --- | Dyspnea
| --- | Pain, numbness, weakness or feeling of cold in the legs and arms, if there is a narrowing of the blood vessels in it

Symptoms of heart disease caused by arrhythmias (Arrhythmia)

An arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat. Arrhythmias may include a heart rate at a higher rate than normal, at a rate lower than normal or irregularly.

Symptoms of Heart Diseases Associated with Heartbeat

| --- | Flutter (twitching) in the chest

| --- | Tachycardia (tachycardia)
| --- | Bradycardia (slow pulse - Bradycardia)
| --- | pain in the chest
| --- | Shortness of breath
| --- | Dizziness
| --- | Fainting / Syncope, or close to syncope

Symptoms of heart disease caused by a heart defect

A congenital defect in the heart is usually detectable within hours, days, weeks, or months after birth. Symptoms of heart disease defects include:
| --- | Light gray or blue skin (cyanosis)
| --- | Abdominal distention, in the legs or around the eyes
| --- | Shortness of breath while eating, causing insufficient weight gain
| --- | Less severe and serious birth defects are diagnosed, often, only late in infancy or even in adulthood.

Symptoms of congenital heart defects

that do not pose an immediate danger to life

| --- | Ease of shortness of breath, as a result of physical or sports activity
| --- | Ease of feeling tired, as a result of physical or sports activity
| --- | Fluid accumulation in the heart or lungs
| --- | Swelling of the hands, ankles, or palms of the feet

Symptoms of Cardiomyopathy (Cardiomyopathy)

Cardiomyopathy means that the heart muscle becomes thicker and stiffer. Sometimes, in the early stages of cardiomyopathy, no symptoms appear at all.
As the disease gets worse and worsens, its symptoms may include:
| --- | Shortness of breath when making any effort, or even a rest time
| --- | Legs, ankles and feet are swollen
| --- | Abdominal distension due to fluid buildup
| --- | Tired
| --- | Heart rhythm disorder - acceleration, palpitations or flutter
| --- | Dizziness and fainting

Symptoms of Heart Diseases Caused by Pollution

There are three types of infections in the heart:
| --- | Pericarditis (inflammation of the membrane-pericarditis), which is inflammation of the tissue (membrane) that covers the heart
| --- | Myocarditis, which affects the middle layer of the heart muscle
| --- | Endocarditis, which affects the inner membrane that separates the heart’s chambers and valves

Symptoms of heart disease caused by an infection

in the heart, depending on the type of infection.

| --- | fever
| --- | shortness of breath
| --- | Weakness or fatigue
| --- | Swelling in the legs or abdomen
| --- | Changes in the frequency of the heartbeat
| --- | Dry or persistent cough
| --- | Skin rash or unusual spots

Symptoms of heart disease caused by a problem with the heart valves

There are four valves in the heart:
| --- | Aortic valve
| --- | Mitral valve - mitral valve
| --- | Pulmonary valve
| --- | Tricuspid valve
All heart valves open and close to direct blood flow through the heart.
Heart valves may be damaged as a result of several factors that lead to narrowing, leakage (abnormal flow or deficiency), or incomplete closure (prolapse).

Symptoms of heart disease caused by damage to the

valves of the heart vary, depending on the heart valve involved and include:

| --- | Tired

| --- | shortness of breath
| --- | Heart rhythm disturbance or heart murmur (heart murmur
| --- | Swelling in the feet or ankles
| --- | pain in the chest
| --- | fainting.
