HEART DISEASES
- Arrhythmia - An arrhythmia is a heart rhythm abnormality.
- Atherosclerosis - Atherosclerosis is a hardening of the arteries.
- Cardiomyopathy - This condition causes the heart’s muscles to harden or grow weak.
- Congenital Heart Defects - Congenital heart defects are heart irregularities that are present at birth.
