Know Your Heart Disease - HEART DISEASE IN THE WORLD NUMBER ONE KILLER. The heart is the organ in charge of pumping blood rich nutrients and oxygen throughout the body so that your metabolism can run smoothly. Cardiac left ventricle pumps blood to function clean (oxygen-rich) throughout the body. Right heart chambers hold blood (low oxygen) which is then channeled to the liver to be cleaned.

Normal heart size of the fist left owners. The heart continues to work all day for human life. The heart normally beats 60-80 times per minute, pulses quickened when the activity or emotion, so that the body needs energy needs are met. In a day and a night, the heart beats more than 100 thousand times. The word does not mean rest for the heart stops beating, but beating minimal. That's why, sleep becomes one of the important in maintaining a healthy heart and all vital limb.

Heart disease is a condition that causes the heart can not function properly. There are many types of heart disease, but the most common is coronary heart disease. The disease is the number one killer in the world and in Indonesia. Coronary heart disease occurs due to narrowing of the coronary arteries. Blood vessels constrict due to the accumulation of fat in the blood vessel wall. When an artery or vein is blocked, blood flow to the heart muscle is reduced or even stopped that affect the heart as the blood pumping. The formation of fatty plaques in the arteries further encourage the emergence of a heart attack.

And it's no secret the conventional medical treatment should ultimately lead to a solution with "KNIFE SURGERY" and expensive. The cause of coronary heart disease is due to the buildup of excess fat in the artery wall lining the coronary vessels, which is influenced by an unhealthy diet, lack of activity and exercise, smoking and alcohol addictions, prolonged stress, hypertension and high cholesterol.

DEFINITION Heart Disease
Coronary arteries are blood vessels that serve the heart of the food supply to the cells of the heart. Coronary heart disease occurs when the coronary arteries are blocked or narrowed due to fatty deposits, which gradually accumulate in the arterial wall. Accumulation process is called atherosclerosis, and can occur in other arteries, not only in the coronary arteries.

Lack of blood supply due to narrowing of the coronary arteries cause chest pain called angina, which usually occurs during physical activity or stress. If blood does not flow at all because of the blocked coronary artery, the patient can suffer fatal heart attack. Heart attacks can occur anytime, even when you are resting.

Coronary heart disease can also lead to weakened heart pump power so that the blood does not circulate throughout the body perfect (heart failure). Patients with heart failure can be hard to breathe because his lungs filled with fluid, feeling very tired, and swelling in the legs and joints.

Factors causing constriction of blood vessels:
• The age factor
Narrowing of blood vessels usually results arterosclerosis process, namely the formation of thickened patches on the inner walls of the arteries, thereby narrowing the blood flow keotot heart. Narrowing it could continue to thicken over her blood flow in the coronary arteries, which eventually kills the heart. Arteroclerosis process often occurs due to the age factor, the factor that can not be prevented due to natural processes.

• Congenital Factor
This factor is also difficult to control

• Factors of high cholesterol
Actually, cholesterol is needed to maintain the continuity of the functions of the organ. However, if high levels of cholesterol in the blood, it can facilitate the occurrence of spots on the walls of the coronary arteries.

Common symptoms yangsering occur are:
Symptoms of heart disease varies according to its type. There are also many types that do not show symptoms in the early phases. In addition, among patients with one another also have different symptoms. As a general rule, the following symptoms may be felt:
