  3. THE LIFESAVING ENGINE OF THE BODY The heart is a remarkable organ, tirelessly pumping blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to every cell while removing waste products. Located in the chest cavity, slightly left of center, the heart is roughly the size of a fist and is composed of specialized muscle tissue

  4. TYPES OF DISEASES • Coronary artery disease (CAD): Blocked arteries due to plaque buildup, reducing blood flow to the heart. • Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats, caused by problems with electrical signals. • Heart valve disease: Damaged valves that impair blood flow.

  5. TYPES OF DISEASES • Cardiomyopathy: Weakened or enlarged heart muscle. • Congenital heart defects: Heart abnormalities present at birth.

  6. CAUSES • Unhealthy lifestyle: High cholesterol, smoking, lack of exercise, poor diet. • High blood pressure: Forces heart to work harder. • Diabetes: Increases risk of heart problems. • Family history: Genetics play a role.

  7. SYMPTOMS (MAY VARY) • Chest pain, pressure, tightness, or discomfort (angina). • Shortness of breath. • Palpitations (irregular heartbeat). • Fatigue.

  8. SYMPTOMS (MAY VARY) • Pain radiating to arm, jaw, back, or neck. • Sweating. • Dizziness or lightheadedness. • Unexplained swelling in ankles or feet. [Early detection is crucial! See a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms]

TREATMENT OPTIONS • Lifestyle Changes: Eat healthy, exercise, manage weight, quit smoking, de-stress. • Medications: Statins, blood pressure meds, blood thinners, antiarrhythmics • Procedures: Open arteries (angioplasty), bypass surgery, valve repair/replacement, pacemakers. • Rehab: Supervised exercise program for recovery and improvement.
