Angina is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease. Angina, also called angina pectoris, is often described as squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness, or pain in your chest.

Aortic Valve Disease is a condition in which the valve between the main pumping chamber of your heart (left ventricle) and the main artery to your body (aorta) doesn't work properly. Aortic Valve Disease may be a condition present at birth (Congenital Heart Disease), or it may result from other causes.

Atrial Flutter (AFL) is a type of abnormal heart rate, or arrhythmia. It occurs when the upper chambers of your heart beat too fast. When the chambers in the top of your heart (atria) beat faster than the bottom ones (ventricles), it causes your heart rhythm to be out of sync.

Atrial Fibrillation is a heart condition that causes an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate. AF occurs when electrical impulses fire off from different places in the top chambers of the heart in a disorganised way. These irregular impulses cause the atria to quiver or twitch, which is known as fibrillation. This causes as an irregular, and sometimes fast, heartbeat or pulse.

An Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of your heart. The condition is present at birth. Small defects might be found by chance and never cause a problem. Some small Atrial Septal Defects close during infancy or early childhood. The hole increases the amount of blood that flows through the lungs. A large, long-standing Atrial Septal Defect can damage your heart and lungs. Surgery or device closure might be necessary to repair Atrial Septal Defects to prevent complications.

An ectopic heartbeat is when the heart either skips a beat or adds an extra beat. They are also called premature heartbeats. Ectopic heartbeats are usually not a cause for concern, and they may occur for no known reason. Despite the skipped or added beat, the heart otherwise functions normally.

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for your heart to pump blood to the rest of your body. Cardiomyopathy can lead to heart failure. The main types of Cardiomyopathy include dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive Cardiomyopathy.

The most common heart problems that cause chest pain are pericarditis – which usually causes a sudden, sharp, stabbing pain that gets worse when you breathe deeply or lie down, angina or a heart attack – which have similar symptoms but a heart attack is life-threatening.

Fatigue can be caused by many illnesses and by medicines. But an extreme, constant, new fatigue also can sometimes signal heart failure or coronary artery disease.

Heart block is a condition which causes the heart to beat more slowly or with an abnormal rhythm. The cause of this is a problem with the electrical pulses that control how your heart beats.

Heart disease includes conditions that narrow or block blood vessels (coronary heart disease). This can lead to a heart attack, angina and some strokes. Heart disease also covers conditions that affect your heart's muscle, valves or cause abnormal rhythms.

A heart murmur is an unexpected or unusual sound which can be heard in your heart through a stethoscope. They are mostly harmless, but sometimes they can relate to a problem with your heart.

Heart palpitations are the sensation that your heart has skipped a beat or added an extra beat. It may also feel like your heart is racing, pounding, or fluttering. You may become overly aware of your heartbeat. This sensation can be felt in the neck, throat, or chest.

High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is when the pressure in your blood vessels is unusually high. It can be serious if not treated. High blood pressure does not usually have any symptoms. The only way to find out if you have it is to get your blood pressure checked.

High cholesterol is when you have too much of a fatty substance called cholesterol in your blood. It's mainly caused by eating fatty food, not exercising enough, being overweight, smoking and drinking alcohol. It can also run in families.

In Mitral Valve Disease, the mitral valve between the upper left heart chamber (left atrium) and the lower left heart chamber doesn't work properly. It may not be closing properly, which causes blood to leak backward to the left atrium, or the valve may be narrowed.

Paravalvular Leak (PVL) is a relatively rare complication related to the surgical replacement of mitral and aortic valves. Paravalvular Leak refers to blood flowing through a channel between the structure of the implanted valve and cardiac tissue as a result of a lack of appropriate sealing.

Pulmonary Valve Disease is a condition in which the pulmonary valve — located between your heart's lower right heart chamber and the artery that delivers blood to the lungs doesn't work properly. The condition can interrupt blood flow from your heart to your lungs.

Since shortness of breath can be a sign of heart disease, patients with breathlessness are usually evaluated by cardiologists. In addition to a careful history and a thorough physical exam by a cardiologist, certain cardiac tests might be helpful to determine cardiac causes of shortness of breath.

Supraventricular Tachycardia is a condition where your heart suddenly beats much faster than normal. The main symptom of Supraventricular Tachycardia is your heart suddenly beating faster than usual for a few minutes or sometimes several hours.

Tricuspid Valve Disease is a condition in which the valve between the two right heart chambers doesn't function properly. Tricuspid Valve Disease often occurs with other heart valve problems.

Vegetations can build up in the heart due to endocarditis, an infection of the inner lining of the heart chambers and valves. If this infection occurs, bacteria, fungi and other germs can invade your blood and in turn attach themselves to abnormal areas of your heart. This build up is known as vegetation and can cause blood clots, which can cause serious damage to the heart and other vital organs.

A Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is a birth defect of the heart in which there is a hole in the wall (septum) that separates the two lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart.

Ventricular Tachycardia is a heart rhythm disorder caused by abnormal electrical signals in the lower chambers of the heart. This condition may also be called V-tach or VT. The chaotic heartbeats prevent the heart chambers from properly filling with blood. As a result, your heart may not be able to pump enough blood to your body and lungs.
