Heart disease includes several heart-related health conditions, including atherosclerosis, heart attack, angina, stroke, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmia.1 Heart disease results from the buildup of plaques on the walls of arteries, making it harder for blood to flow through them. Heart health involves maintaining a healthy heart muscle, arteries, and veins to efficiently circulate blood throughout your body.
