    • Examples include septal defects and pulmonary stenosis.

  4. Cardiomyopathy

    • Subtypes:

      • Dilated Cardiomyopathy: The heart muscle becomes weak and stretched.

      • Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Thickening of the heart muscle walls often due to genetic factors.

      • Causes: Viral infections, toxins like alcohol.

  5. Heart Valve Disease

    • Involves problems with valves controlling blood flow between chambers.

  6. Aortic Disease

    • Includes conditions like aortic aneurysms where the aorta widens abnormally.

  7. Pericardial Diseases

    • Conditions affecting the sac surrounding the heart (pericardium).

Awareness Points

  • Early detection through regular check-ups is crucial for managing many forms of heart disease.

  • Lifestyle changes such as diet modification and exercise can significantly reduce risk factors for coronary artery disease.
