An article on this topic is available in this issue of AFP What is congenital heart disease? A congenital heart disease is one that a baby is born with. Did I do something during pregnancy that made my baby have this problem? Probably not. Some things that happen in pregnancy can lead to a congenital heart problem in a baby, but often the reason for the heart disease is not known. Talk with your family doctor if you're worried that you caused your baby's heart problem, but don't blame yourself. I felt depressed when I found out my baby has a heart problem. Is that normal?

See all Heart articles More from Discovery Health Dr. G Dr. G: Medical Examiner uses forensics and technology to solve the mysteries of life and death. Heart Health Image Gallery See more heart health pictures Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. At some point in your life, either you or one of your loved ones will be forced to make decisions about some aspect of heart disease. Knowing something about the anatomy and functioning of the heart, in particular how angina and heart attacks work, will enable you to make informed decisions about your health. Heart disease can strike suddenly and require you to make decisions quickly. Being informed prior to an emergency is a valuable asset to you and your family. In this article we will discuss various heart diseases and how they can lead to a heart attack, or even a stroke. We will also look at how heart attacks are treated and what you should do to prevent heart disease. The basics Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) and Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) are all different names for the same disease. This disease is caused by atherosclerosis, which is a buildup of fatty deposits (atheroma) in the coronary arteries. See the figure below:

http://www.btinternet.com/~bob_findlay

Extractions: T HANKS FOR dropping by my web site. At the age of 43 I had a heart attack, three years later in 2000 I had a quadruple heart bypass operation so should I roll over and give in to heart disease. The answer yes would have been easy, instead I changed my diet and my lifestyle. I am now addressing my working life. No more long hours, more time at home and more time away on holiday. I went back to work, went back to some old ways and now wish I hadn�t. I ended up being very stressed and had some old symptoms returning. So I don�t intend to do that again and now I want to concentrate on having some quality time doing what I need to do. Part of quality to me is the Costa Del Sol in Spain and I have been several times, Maybe I will end up there who knows?
HeartPoint: Myocardial Infarction
Clear patient-oriented information on having a heart attack. Includes an animation of the pathological process and answers to a wide variety of common questions about this type of heart disease.
http://www.heartpoint.com/mi.html

Extractions: The proper use of the non-medical term "heart attack" is "Myocardial Infarction". Either term is scary. "Myocardial Infarction" (abbreviated as "MI") means there is death of some of the muscle cells of the heart as a result of a lack of supply of oxygen and other nutrients. This lack of supply is caused by closure of the artery ("coronary artery") that supplies that particular part of the heart muscle with blood. This occurs 98% of the time from the process of arteriosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries") in coronary vessels. Although it once was felt that most heart attacks were caused from the slow closure of an artery, say from 90 or 95% to 100%, it is now clear that this process can occur in even minor blockages where there is rupture of the cholesterol plaque. This in turn causes blood clotting within the artery, blocking the flow of blood. This sort of event is illustrated above. The heart muscle which is injured in this way can cause irregular rhythms which can be fatal, even when there is enough muscle left to pump plenty of blood. When the injured area heals, it will leave a scar. While the heart won't be able to pump quite as much as before, there is often plenty of good muscle left to take care of the job, and recovery can be quite complete. While heart attacks are clearly scary, with modern techniques, patients survive most of them. Furthermore, most can have a long and satisfying life, perhaps more satisfying than before.

Extractions: Inauguration The work of the Ladakh Heart Foundation began serendipitously in 1997 when Lama Chogyal, a monk and the president of the LHF, was stuck in New Dehli while trying to obtain a visa to go to England. He decided to make constructive use of his time by visiting Ladakhi patients who were in Dehli hospitals. This experience taught Lama Chogyal two basic things: (a) many Ladakhi people have preventable heart disease and (b) that it was a jarring and overwhelmingly expensive experience for Ladakhi people to come to Dehli and stumble their way through what was basically a foreign country trying to find medical care for their illnesses. Read more Provide affordable state of the art medical care for all Ladakh citizens who have cardiovascular disease. We are particularly interested in providing surgical repair for children who have congenital heart diseases (CHD). Provide free state of the art medical care for all Ladakhi citizens who have cardiovascular disease who can not afford treatment.
