| Coronary heart disease (CHD) | The most common cardiovascular disease. The main cause is the accumulation of cholesterol layers on the inner wall of the coronary arteries, which narrows the arterial lumen and reduces the blood supply to the myocardium, leading to chronic angina pectoris and even acute heart disease. |
| Myocarditis | Mostly caused by viral infection, the heart muscle will be damaged and its function will deteriorate |
| Arrhythmia | including slow heartbeat, fast heartbeat and atrial fibrillation |
| Valvular heart disease |
There are four sets of valves in the heart , which function as "valve" and open and close at different times to allow blood to flow in one direction. If there is a problem with the function of the "valve", such as locking or incomplete opening and closing, valve stenosis, etc., it will cause the blood flowed backwards. If the heart valve is severely narrowed, the patient may feel dizzy, has shortness of breath, decreasing physical strength, and chest pain. |
| Heart failure |
Heart failure is caused by impaired heart function. The disease weakens the heart. The pumping function of the patient's heart becomes weaker, making it difficult to deliver enough blood and oxygen to all parts of the body. Symptoms of heart failure occur when the heart cannot meet the body 's oxygen needs. |
| Stroke | Blockage or bursting of a blood vessel in the brain causes brain nerves to die due to lack of oxygen. |
