Common Heart Conditions
Heart conditions are also known as heart disease and they can severely impact your heart’s ability to work efficiently. With your cardiologist in St. Thomas and St. Croix, you can use the study of cardiology to find out what heart condition you might be dealing with and how you can start managing it and live a better life.
When you start understanding common heart conditions, it can ease some of the worry that you might have. Some common heart conditions include:
- Coronary heart disease
- Angina
- Heart attack
- Heart failure
- Arrhythmia
- Valve disease
- High blood pressure
- Congenital heart conditions
All of these issues can cause your heart to function irregularly, which can cause severe complications if any of these are left untreated. Many of these issues don’t have symptoms at an early stage, making it hard to detect without seeing your doctor. Your doctor will regularly test for most of these issues, and if you have a family history of any of these issues, you should be sure to get tested more often.
