We already know that heart is the one of the most sensitive organ in our body. Small unfavorable conditions and some symptoms may affect the heart and also it may lead to death. In 2007 Heart diseases was major leading problem to death in United States. It killed one person every 34 seconds in the United States.
Types of heart disease
Coronary heart disease: It is a disease of the artery caused by the accumulation of atheromatouss plaques within the walls of the arteries which supply the myocardium. This disease may lead to Angina pectoris (chest pain) and myocardial infarction (heart attack).
Cardiomyopathy: Cardiomyopathy is the deterioration of the function of the myocardium (the actual heart muscle).It may happen for any reason. People with this disease are often at risk of arrhythmia and/or sudden death.
Cardiovascular disease: This disease is any of a number of specific diseases that affect the heart itself or the blood vessel system, especially the veins and arteries coming to and going from the heart. Research on disease dimorphism suggests that women who suffer with cardiovascular disease usually suffer from forms that affect the blood vessels while men usually suffer from forms that affect the heart muscle itself. Normally it has some causes that are diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperhomocysteinemia and hypercholesterolemia.

Heart failure: Heart failure, also called congestive heart failure (or CHF), and congestive cardiac failure (CCF).This is a condition that can result from any structural or functional disorder in Heart mechanism that impairs the ability of the heart to fill with or pump a sufficient amount of blood throughout the body. This leads to the heart and body's failure.
Hypertensive heart disease: This heart disease caused by high blood pressure, especially localised high blood pressure. Conditions that can be caused by hypertensive heart disease, that are Left ventricular hypertrophy, Coronary heart disease, (Congestive) heart failure, Hypertensive cardiomyopathy, Cardiac arrhythmias
Inflammatory heart disease: This heart disease involves inflammation of the heart muscle or tissues.
Valvular heart disease: This heart disease causes the damages in one or more valves of the heart. The valves in the right side of the heart are the tricuspid valve and the pulmonic valve. The valves in the left side of the heart are the mitral valve and the aortic valve.
