Heart Disease

Heart disease basically means your heart isn’t working the way it should — either the blood vessels supplying it get blocked, the heart muscles weaken, or the rhythm goes off track. All of this affects how well your heart pumps blood, which can lead to serious health concerns if not handled on time. It’s one of those conditions where early awareness, diagnosis, and lifestyle changes can make a huge difference.
