Care for Your Heart

If you have a heart (which is quite a silly statement in itself!) then it is probable that you will suffer from a heart related disorder. Sadly, most people are not aware of the great variety of heart related disorders there are.

CHF, or Congestive Heart Failure, is one of the most dangerous kinds of cardiovascular disease. CHF happens when there is insufficient supply 
Antioxidants (In French antioxydants) of blood to the different body parts, irrespective whether the body pumps slower or faster. It has been after extensive research that out of the many causes of CHF, myocarditis, is the most occurring and infectious type. It has various symptoms—elevated blood pressure, cardio vascular problems etc.

CHD, or Coronary Heart Disease, is another type of commonly occurring cardiovascular disease. The cause of this disorder is mainly attributed to the deposition of plaque or waste in the blood vessels. The arteries and veins get fully or substantially blocked by the buildup of plaque or waste which are generally calcium, cholesterol(le cholestérol), fat or an excessive amount of dead cells.

In fact, a survey and extensive research have proven that CHD is the main and primary cause of 60% of all deaths caused due to a cardiovascular disease(maladies cardiovasculaires). This is an alarming percentage and even more so because CHD has no preliminary symptoms and CHD is mostly caused by high cholesterol.

Myocardial infarctions and strokes occur as a subsequent cause due to the blockage of arteries and formation of blood clots. Here we come to another cardiovascular disease called Atherosclerosis. In this disease, the arteries harden up due to the deposition of high amounts of cholesterol in the arterial walls. Intake of fatty and oily food substances result in a buildup of cholesterol deposits and the deposits gradually increase in size to a point where they choke the arteries and disrupt blood flow. This is especially fatal. The arteries carry oxygenated blood to the different parts of the body. If you are lucky enough to survive a heart attack, your body will suffer from oxygen deprivation as oxygenated blood cannot circulate normally through the body and thus asphyxiation occurs in different parts like the brain, kidneys, liver, eyes etc.

I think now you have gotten a bit wiser about the different types of cardiovascular diseases there are. Knowing is reducing half the risk. When you know the diseases and their causes you will also learn to develop and exercise ways so as to avoid their advent and prevent yourself from falling prey to them.
