Heart problems you get over your life
1.CVD(Cardiovascular disease)
2.CHD ( Coronary heart disease)
3 Heart Attack
Here are the conditions of each of these diseases:
1. CVD is the deadliest of these diseases. It kills 1 australian every 12 minutes and affects one in six Australians/3.72 million people. This disease includes stroke, cancer, rheumatic heart disease and hypertension. CVD was the leading cause of death in 2010 and the leading cause of hospitalisations .
2.CHD otherwise known as ischaemic heart disease is also a deadly disease causing the second most deaths following CVD and only by CVD and stroke caused 33,000 deaths in 2010. Luckily this destructive force can be treated.
3. Heart attacks. Random, sudden heart attacks. Some kill some don't. Some force heart valves to make sure the victim survives some don't. With heart attacks it's a matter of chance and health. You may get a mild heart attack you might not. You may die at an early age you might not. This ailment is a deadly and quick striker and when it strikes it goes straight to the core or should I say heart!
