Humanity is still not aware about the health and ways to prevent it. Heart disease is a classification of disease caused by few reasons such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heredity, diabetes, smoking, stress, and smoking and mainly by obesity. These are the few main reasons that cause heart disease but diseases are classified to many types. Different types of heart diseases are as follows:

• Aneurysms-when artery loses its elasticity and damaged
• Angina-feeling exhausted, chest pressure and shortness of breath
• Arrhythmia-dynamic change in heart rhythm
• Atherosclerosis-loses flexibility when the arteries hardened
• Cardiomyopathy-disease caused by the heart muscle
• Congenital Heart Disease-defect caused at the time of birth
• Congestive Heart Failure-weak pumping process and change in rhythm of heart pumping.
• Coronary Artery Disease-causes sudden death when heart muscles does not receive enough blood and oxygen
• Dilated Cardiomyopathy-causes when heart muscles losses its strength
• Diastolic Dysfunction-improper systole and diastole affecting the total function of body and causing heart attack
• Endocarditic-caused by bacteria in heart valves causing an improper function.
• High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)-caused when blood flows increase due to work load and tension.
• Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy-limits the amount of blood that get pumped in the heart
• Mitral Valve Prolepse-mild malfunctioning that causes heart attack when the blood is reversed back by the heart
• Myocardial Ischemia-by poor blood supply
• Myocarditis-inflammation in heart muscles
• Valve Disease-the mal functioning of heart muscles

These are the few types of heart diseases that affects the whole heart and later the whole body. These all types of disease stop the functioning of heart and put an end. So symptoms must be checked properly to avoid any kind of miss happening.
