Write a note on various heart diseases.
Some heart diseases are as follows:
1. Heart block : In this condition, there are two arterial beats for each ventricular contraction.
2. Ventricular fibrilation : Different regions of ventricle contract at random.
3. Valvular defects : One or more heart valves may become constricted or do not close the opening completely.
4. Angina pectoris : It is due to the inadequate blood supply to the heart muscles as a result of arteriorclesosis severe pain occurs in the breast region.
5. Coronary thrombosis : It is the blockage of coronary artery due to the presence of a small clot or thrombus. This also leads to insufficient or no supply of blood to the heart muscles.
6. Myocardial damage : Insufficient supply of blood to the heart muscles causes damage and results in heart attack.
