About Heart Disease | Heart Disease

The term "heart disease" refers to several types of heart conditions. The most common type of heart disease in the United States is coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD affects the blood flow to the heart. Decreased blood flow can cause a heart attack.

Sometimes heart disease may be "silent" and not diagnosed until a person experiences signs or symptoms of a heart attack, heart failure, or an arrhythmia. When these events happen, symptoms may include:1

• Heart attack: Chest pain or discomfort, upper back or neck pain, heartburn, nausea or vomiting, extreme fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
• Arrhythmia: Fluttering feelings in the chest (palpitations).
• Heart failure: Shortness of breath, fatigue, or swelling of the feet, ankles, legs, abdomen, or neck veins.

Cardiac rehabilitation is an important program for anyone recovering from a heart attack. This can also include heart failure, or some types of heart surgery. Cardiac rehabilitation is a supervised program that includes

• Physical activity.
• Education about healthy eating.
• Taking medicine as prescribed.
• Ways to help you quit smoking.
• Counseling to find ways to relieve stress and improve mental health.

A team of people may help you through cardiac rehabilitation. This may include

• Your health care team.
• Exercise and nutrition specialists.
• Physical therapists.
• Counselors or mental health professionals.
