Approximately 60 million Americans have heart disease. There are many causes of heart disease. In this article we will discuss heart disease affecting coronary arteries and coronary veins.<br /><br />Heart disease affecting coronary arteries and coronary veins:<br />The malfunctioning of the heart may be due to damage caused by narrowed or blocked arteries leading to the muscle of your heart as well as blood backing up in the veins. Types of heart disease that affect the coronary arteries and veins include:<br /><br />1. Angina pectoris<br />Angina pectoris <span><span class="content" fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get as much blood oxygen as it needs.</span></span> Here are 3 types of angina pectoris:<br />a) Stable angina<br />Stable angina is chest pain or discomfort that typically occurs with activity or stress due to oxygen deficiency in the blood muscles and usually follows a predictable pattern. Symptom of stable angina include chest pain, tightness, pressure, indigestion feeling and pain in the upper neck and arm.<br /><br />b) Unstable angina<br />Unstable angina is caused by blockage of the blood flow to the heart. Without blood and the oxygen, part of the heart starts to die. Symptoms of unstable angina include pain spread down the left shoulder and arm to the back, jaw, neck, or right arm, discomfort of chest and chest pressure.<br /><br />c) Variant angina also known as coronary artery spasm<br />Caused by the narrowing of the coronary arteries. This is caused by the contraction of the smooth muscle tissue in the vessel walls. Symptoms of variant angina include increasing of heart rate, pressure and chest pain.<br /><br />2.<a href="http://kylenorton.aanbhip.hop.clickbank.net/"> Heart attacks</a> known as myocardial infarction or MI<br />Heart attacks caused by plaque rupture with thrombus formation in a coronary vessel, resulting in an acute reduction of blood supply to a portion of the myocardium. Symptoms of MI include a squeezing sensation of the chest, sweating, nausea and vomiting, upper back pain and arm pain.<br /><br />3. Heart disease also known as coronary artery disease or coronary heart disease<br />Caused by arteries hardening and narrowing, cutting off blood flow to the heart muscle and resulting in heart attack. Symptoms of<a href="http://kylenorton.aanbhip.hop.clickbank.net/"> heart disease</a> include shortness of breath, chest pains on exertion, palpitation, dizziness and fainting.<br /><br />4. Atherosclerosis or hardening of arteries<br /> Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to your heart and to other parts of your body. Atherosclerosis is caused by <span class="content" fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">plaques that rupture in result of blood clots that block blood flow or break off and travel to another part of the body</span>. Atherosclerosis has no symptom or warning sign.<br /><br />5. Silent ischemia.<br />Ischemia <span><span class="content" fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> is a condition in which the blood flow is restricted to a part of the body</span></span> caused <span><span class="content" fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> by narrowing of heart arteries.</span></span> <span><span class="content" fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">Silent ischemia</span></span> means <span><span class="content" fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">people have ischemia without pain. There is also no warning sign before heart attack.</span></span><br /><a href="http://kylenorton.aanbhip.hop.clickbank.net/">Or Click here for more information</a><br /><br />I hope this information will help.
