What does "heart disease" mean anyway?

Heart disease is a term that refers to any disorder of the heart. Diseases that fall under the term heart disease include coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmias, and congenital heart defects. The term cardiovascular disease generally refers to diseases of the blood vessels that lead to heart attack, chest pain, or stroke.

Heart disease symptoms

Common symptoms of heart disease include chest pain (angina), shortness of breath and palpitations. If left untreated, heart disease can lead to a heart attack and heart failure. The signs of a heart attack are similar to angina, but can also occur at rest and are usually more severe. Other signs include shortness of breath, dizziness, sweating, nausea and vomiting. Some heart conditions show no symptoms at all, especially in older adults and people with diabetes.

Causes

Heart disease is caused by damage to the heart, the coronary arteries, or by a poor supply of nutrients and oxygen to the heart. Some heart diseases, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, are genetic, while others are congenital.

Some of the risk factors for heart disease are:

• advanced age
• hereditary conditions
• high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels
• smoking and alcohol
• overweight and obesity
• diabetes

Some of the heart diseases, such as congenital and genetic, cannot be prevented, but other types can be prevented by doing the following:

• Eat a balanced diet. A low-fat, high-fiber diet with fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and little salt and sugar in the diet.
• Get regular exercise. This strengthens the heart and circulation, lowers cholesterol and maintains blood pressure.
• Avoid smoking, as it is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
• Reduce the consumption of alcohol.
• Keep an eye on other health conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes, as they eventually affect the heart.

Homeopathic medicines for heart disease

Homeopathic remedies can often provide useful support for conventional medical treatment. Of course, heart complaints should always be clarified by a doctor. But homeopathy offers good possibilities to support conventional therapy. For example, the tolerance of heart medication can be improved by homeopathic remedies. Ask your health care provider for a consultation. Many homeopathic remedies can help with heart disease and relieve discomfort.
