This label includes several issues primarily related to the buildup of plaque in the walls of the arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis. 👉 Heart Attack A heart attack occurs when a blood clot cuts off blood flow to the heart. While many people survive a heart attack with emergency medical treatment, the condition requires ongoing medical attention. 👉 Stroke Much like a heart attack, a stroke occurs when a blood vessel to the brain becomes blocked. 👉 Heart Failure Heart failure is when the heart stops pumping blood effectively. In this case, the heart continues to work, but the body no longer receives an accurate level of blood and oxygen. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 Heart disease covers a range of conditions.
