Coronary Artery Disease is a disease of the artery caused by the accumulation of athermanous plaques within the walls of the arteries that supply the myocardium

Cardiomyopathy literally means "heart muscle disease" (Myo= muscle, pathy= disease) It is the deterioration of the function of the myocardium

Cardiovascular Disease is any of a number of specific diseases that affect the heart itself and/or the blood vessel system, especially the veins and arteries leading to and from the heart.


Ischemic Heart Disease - Caused by  reduced blood supply to the organs by narrowed heart arteries. When arteries are narrowed, less blood and oxygen reaches the heart muscle. This is also called coronary artery disease and coronary heart disease. This can ultimately lead to heart attack.

Heart Failure, also called congestive heart failure (or CHF), and congestive cardiac failure (CCF), is a condition that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the heart to fill with or pump a sufficient amount of blood throughout the body.

Hypertensive Heart Disease is heart disease caused by high blood pressure, especially localized  high blood pressure

Inflammatory Heart Disease involves inflammation of the heart muscle and/or the tissue surrounding it.

Vallvular Heart Disease is disease process that affects one or more valves of the heart
