Heart disease is the product of atherosclerotic changes. This is the change that occurs within the heart because of plaques or fatty streaks on the interior walls of the blood vessels that supply oxygenated blood to the heart. ... The major symptoms of heart disease are forceful chest pains, suddenly cold, sweating, nausea, and physical weakness.
The heart is the muscle, which pumps blood cells containing everything your body requires around the human anatomy. When the arteries become clogged with deposits from cholesterol, plaques, scar tissue or calcium, the heart has a much harder time of circulating this blood around the body. This clogging results in numerous heart problems from angina to heart failure.
There are many risk factors in which any one person can develop heart disease. There are six main areas on which scientists have found the cause of coronary heart disease; smoking, sedentary lifestyle, hypertension, diabetes, Hypercholesterolemia and genetic history of the disease. ... Smoking is a habit that greatly increases the potential of heart disease. This is more harmful to women in America than anywhere else; heart disease has caused more deaths than that from lung cancer. If you were to smoke you would be two to six times more likely to develop a heart attack than a non-smoker.
