of deposits of fat in linings of the blood
vessels that supply with blood the heart.
4. HOW CAN YOU GET A CARDIAC
DISEASE?
• They aren´t infectious.
• Some people born with them.
• To smoke, eating fast food, to have a high
arterial pressure, overwheight and not doing
physical exercises increase the danger of
develop a cardiac disease.
5. PREVENTION
•
Having a balance and healthy diet.
Eating fruits and vegetables.
Eating food that contains Omega 3 and E
and C vitamins.

• Not drinking too much alcohol and not
smoking.
• Doing physical activity in a regular way, at

7. RECOVERY
• It consist of changes in the way of life.
Medicines, medical and surgical methods and
cardiac rehabilitation, can help you to get
better. It depends on the disease you have.
• Two medical and surgical methods are
``Angioplasty´´ and ``Bypass´´.
11. • CONGENITAL HEART DISEASES. They are heart
anormalities presented at birth. They occur
while the fetus is developing in the uterus and
may be caused by medication...
12. • CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE. This condition is
more common in older people and occurs
when the heart can no longer pump blood to
the rest of the body like it should.
• CORONARY MICROVASCULAR DISEASE. It
occurs when the arteries that supply blood to
the heart become narrower due to the build
up of plaque, known as “atherosclerosis.”
13. • ANGINA. It is caused by a insufficient blood
contribution (oxygen) to the cells of the
muscle of the heart.
• HYPERTENSIVE HEART DISEASE. Several heart
problems may occur as a result of high blood
pressure or “hypertension’’.
14. • ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE. The word
“ischaemic” means a “reduced blood supply.”
Ischaemic heart disease is any heart disease
that results in a reduced blood supply to the
heart.
• INFLAMMATORY HEART DISEASE. This disease
involves inflammation of the heart muscles or
the surrounding tissues, which may be caused
by bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, or by
immune diseases.
15. • Pulmonary Heart Disease. It occurs when a
disease of the lungs affects the heart. Blood
that flow to the lungs may then slow down or
become blocked, increasing blood pressure in
the lungs. As a result, the right side of the
heart has to work harder, which can lead to
damage to the heart muscle itself.
16. • STRUCTURAL HEART DISEASE. This term
describes any condition that affects the
structure of the heart itself.
• HEART ATTACK. It occurs when a blood clot
in the coronary heart blocks the blood and
oxygen supply to the heart. It producing
irregular cardiac beats, arrhythmia.
