Answer 1

Answer:

Types of heart disease include:

Arrhythmia. An arrhythmia is a heart rhythm abnormality.

Atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a hardening of the arteries.

Cardiomyopathy. This condition causes the heart’s muscles to harden or grow weak.

Congenital heart defects. Congenital heart defects are heart irregularities that are present at birth.

Coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is caused by the buildup of plaque in the heart’s arteries. It’s sometimes called ischemic heart disease.

Heart infections. Heart infections may be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites.

Explanation:

Arrhythmias

Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms. The symptoms you experience may depend on the type of arrhythmia you have — heartbeats that are too fast or too slow. Symptoms of an arrhythmia include:

lightheadedness

fluttering heart or racing heartbeat

slow pulse

fainting spells

dizziness

chest pain

Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis reduces blood supply to your extremities. In addition to chest pain and shortness of breath, symptoms of atherosclerosis include:

coldness, especially in the limbs

numbness, especially in the limbs

unusual or unexplained pain

weakness in your legs and arms

Congenital heart defects

Congenital heart defects are heart problems that develop when a fetus is growing. Some heart defects are never diagnosed. Others may be found when they cause symptoms, such as:

blue-tinged skin

swelling of the extremities

shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

fatigue and low energy

irregular heart rhythm

Coronary artery disease (CAD)

CAD is plaque buildup in the arteries that move oxygen-rich blood through the heart and lungs. Symptoms of CAD include:

chest pain or discomfort

a feeling of pressure or squeezing in the chest

shortness of breath

nausea

feelings of indigestion or gas

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease that causes the muscles of the heart to grow larger and turn rigid, thick, or weak. Symptoms of this condition include:

fatigue

bloating

swollen legs, especially ankles and feet

shortness of breath

pounding or rapid pulse

Heart infections

The term heart infection may be used to describe conditions such as endocarditis or myocarditis. Symptoms of a heart infection include:

chest pain

chest congestion or coughing

fever

chills

skin rash
