00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about,

00:12The different types of cardiovascular diseases explained.

00:15Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the US,

00:18so it's crucial to understand your heart and take steps to protect it.

00:21Even if you have a heart condition, you can still lead a healthier,

00:24more active life by learning about your specific disease and how to manage it.

00:281. Irregular heartbeats.

00:30Your heart usually beats steadily, but sometimes it can fall out of rhythm,

00:34leading to an irregular or abnormal heartbeat called an arrhythmia.

00:372. Aorta issues and Marfan syndrome.

00:39The aorta, your body's main artery, can sometimes widen or tear,

00:43leading to serious health risks like high blood pressure and connective tissue disorders.

00:47You'll need a team of specialists and surgeons to treat it.

00:503. Cardiomyopathies.

00:52This term refers to diseases of the heart muscle, where the heart becomes enlarged,

00:56thick, or stiff, making it harder to pump blood.

00:59Without treatment, it can lead to heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms.

01:034. Congenital heart disease.

01:05This is a heart defect that develops before birth.

01:08Some people may not show symptoms until later in life.

01:115. Coronary artery disease.

01:13CAD occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that supply oxygen to your heart,

01:16leading to hardened arteries or atherosclerosis.

01:196. Deep vein thrombosis DVT and pulmonary embolism.

01:23Blood clots that form in the deep veins, often in the legs,

01:26can travel to the lungs, causing a life-threatening blockage.

01:297. Heart failure.

01:31This doesn't mean your heart has stopped,

01:33but rather that it isn't pumping as effectively as it should,

01:35leading to fluid retention and shortness of breath.

01:388. Heart valve problems.

01:40Issues with your heart valves can disrupt blood flow,

01:42leading to conditions like aortic stenosis and mitral valve prolapse or insufficiency.

01:479. Pericarditis.

01:49This rare condition involves inflammation of the lining around your heart,

01:52often caused by infection.

01:5410. Rheumatic heart disease.

01:56This results from untreated strep throat leading to rheumatic fever,

01:59which can damage the heart valves, especially in children.

02:0211. Stroke.

02:03A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked,

02:06leading to brain cell death and potential disability.

02:0912. Other vascular diseases.

02:11These include conditions that affect your blood vessels,

02:13like peripheral vascular disease,

02:15which slows blood flow to the brain, increasing stroke risk.

02:18Treatments for these conditions vary

02:20but may include lifestyle changes like healthy diet and exercise regularly,

02:23quitting alcohol and tobacco, medications,

02:26and medical procedures like stent placement or surgery.

02:29Taking care of your heart is essential for living a long, healthy life.
