What is heart disease? Here’s what the AHA says:
Heart disease–also called cardiovascular disease–is a simple term used to describe several problems related to plaque buildup in the walls of the arteries, or atherosclerosis. As the plaque builds up, the arteries narrow, making it more difficult for blood to flow and creating a risk for heart attack or stroke.
Other types of heart disease include heart failure, an irregular heartbeat–or arrhythmia–and heart valve problems.
