N: 1. – heart (n): Old English heorte “heart (hollow muscular organ that circulates blood); breast, soul, spirit, will, desire; courage; mind, intellect,” from Proto-Germanic *hertan- (source also of Old Saxon herta, Old Frisian herte, Old Norse hjarta, Dutch hart, Old High German herza, German Herz, Gothic hairto), from PIE root *kerd- “heart”. Heart disease is from 1864.
– disease (n): Early 14c., “discomfort, inconvenience, distress, trouble,” from Old French desaise “lack, want; discomfort, distress; trouble, misfortune; disease, sickness,” from des- “without, away” + aise “ease”. Restricted pathological sense of “sickness, illness” in English emerged by late 14c.; the word still sometimes was used in its literal sense early 17c., and was somewhat revived 20c., usually with a hyphen (dis-ease).
2. A medical condition affecting the heart or blood vessels.
3. The term “heart disease” is a catch-all phrase for a variety of conditions that affect the heart’s structure and function. It is important to keep in mind that all heart diseases are cardiovascular diseases, but not all cardiovascular diseases are heart diseases.
4. Coronary heart disease is often referred to simply as “heart disease”, although it is not the only type of heart disease.
5. Common heart diseases include hypertensive heart disease, angina and heart attacks, cardiac arrhythmias, and congestive heart failure. Risk factors for heart diseases include obesity, smoking, alcoholism and lack of exercise.
