How To Take Care Of Your Heart

Heart is a muscular organ situated slightly towards the left side of the body. It pumps blood to all the parts of the body and carries back carbon dioxide and waste materials to the lungs for purification.

If the heart is pumping we're alive, if not then we are no more.

Cardiovascular diseases are also called heart diseases. Following are the main cardio vascular diseases

1) Hypertension - a condition in which the force of the blood is too high against the arteries wall.

2) Cardiac arrest - when there is a sudden and unexpected loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness. Blockage in the Arteries - it is the most common type of heart disease.
