Heart disease can take the form of any number of conditions that affect the heart and cardiovascular system.  This section provides easy-to-understand descriptions of the most common heart disease conditions, including heart attack, congestive heart failure, and hypertension (high blood pressure), among others.  You’ll also find some of the most common tests that your doctor may use to help diagnose symptoms you may be having, or to rule out the presence of heart disease.  Information on the most common treatment approaches to the management of heart disease is also provided.  Remember, the more you know about your condition and treatment options, the better off you will be.  As always, talk to your doctor if you have any questions about the information presented here, or if you would like additional information.
