 | | When congenital heart disease shows up in the form of a malformed heart at birth, surgical repair is often possible to correct immediate problems. | | | It is usually accompanied by crushing chest pain, and often by some evidence of heart malfunction. | | | Other more serious congenital heart diseases include various conditions that lead to cyanosis, in which a substantial mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood occurs. |

| | Hypertension: Hypertensive Heart Disease |
| | With heart failure, blood moves through the heart and body at a slower rate, and pressure in the heart increases. | | | Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition in which a part of the heart muscle is enlarged. | | | Heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped working. |

| | The Heart |
| | For your GCSE biology exam you should be able to label a diagram of the heart, put arrows on the diagram to show how blood flows through the heart, and explain how the muscles and valves force blood through the heart. | | | You should also know that the left hand side of the heart pumps blood from the lungs to the rest of the body and that the right hand side pumps blood from the body back to the lungs. | | | During diastole the thick muscular walls of the ventricles relax. |

| | HEART AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE |
| | Heart failure means that the heart is not able to pump blood through the body as well as it should. | | | As with men, women's most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. | | | The heart muscle becomes stiff and cannot fill with blood, causing fluid to buildup (most often in the feet, ankles, and legs) and lung congestion. |

| | The Human Heart |
| | The heart is one of the most important organs in the entire human body. | | | The heart pumps the blood, which carries all the vital materials which help our bodies function and removes the waste products that we do not need. | | | Like any other muscle in the human body, it contracts and expands. |

| | HEART DISEASE |
| | She was given a baboon's heart by a surgeon interested in "independent scientific thought". | | | Given a cardiomyopathy, subclassify it as dilated ("flabby heart"), hypertrophic ("muscle-bound heart"), or restrictive-infiltrative-obliterative (i.e., amyloid, "stiff heart"). | | | It's now painfully clear that a person's successful return to near-normal living after a heart attack is largely a function of his or her knowledge about the disease. |

| | In a surprising result, the researchers found that heart function, as measured by pressure-volume analysis of the muscle's ability to contract and pump blood, actually improved after hypertrophy had been stopped and treated. | | | Improvements were seen in more than 10 measures of heart function, including heart relaxation, cardiac output and heart contractility, which increased by nearly 40 percent. | | | While researchers previously thought that hypertrophy was an adaptive response to pressure stress, the functional gains lasted despite the heart's continued exposure to high blood pressure. |
