Heart Conditions

and common cardiac symptoms

Angina is a symptom. It’s a pain or an uncomfortable feeling when blood flow to your heart is reduced.

An arrhythmia, or abnormal heart rhythm, usually means your heart is beating too fast, too slow or irregularly.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common abnormal heart rhythm or arrhythmia. It causes your heart to beat abnormally, which might feel like your heart is fluttering.

Coronary Heart Disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), also called heart and circulatory disease, is an umbrella name for conditions that affect your heart or circulation. These include high blood pressure, stroke and vascular dementia.

Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)

A heart attack is a medical emergency where there’s a sudden loss of blood flow to a part of the heart muscle. Without enough blood and oxygen your heart can be seriously damaged.

Heart Blocks (Atrioventricular Blocks)

A heart block happens when the electrical impulses that tell your heart when to beat are delayed or blocked as they travel through your heart. Some heart blocks won’t cause any symptoms, but others are more serious.

Heart failure means your heart isn't pumping blood around your body as well as it should. It doesn’t mean your heart has stopped working.

A stroke is a medical emergency. It happens when the blood flow to part of your brain is cut off. This can cause your brain cells to become damaged or die.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) happens when blood flow to your legs is reduced because of narrowed or blocked arteries. It can cause pain, weakness, or numbness and may lead to serious complications if untreated.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Hypertension (high blood pressure) happens when the force of blood against your artery walls stays too high over time. It often has no symptoms but can damage your heart, kidneys and blood vessels if left untreated.

Mitral Valve Disease

Mitral valve disease happens when the valve between the heart’s left chambers doesn’t open or close properly. It can cause breathlessness, tiredness, and heart rhythm problems if not treated.

Palpitations are feelings that your heart is beating too fast, too slow, or irregularly. They’re often harmless but can sometimes be a sign of an underlying heart problem.
