#heart_disease__heartdisease__heart_condition__heartcondition__cardiopathy a disease of the heart
supertype: #cardiovascular_disease a disease of the heart or blood vessels
subtype: #angina_pectoris__angina a heart condition marked by paroxysms of chest pain due to reduced oxygen to the heart
subtype: #cardiac_arrhythmia__cardiacarrhythmia__arrhythmia an abnormal rate of muscle contractions in the heart
subtype: #flutter abnormally rapid beating of the auricles of the heart (especially in a regular rhythm); can result in heart block
subtype: #gallop_rhythm__cantering_rhythm__canteringrhythm cardiac rhythm characterized by the presence of an extra sound; can indicate a heart abnormality
subtype: #atrial_fibrillation fibrillation of the muscles of the atria of the heart
subtype: #bradycardia abnormally slow heartbeat
subtype: #heart_block__Adams-Stokes_syndrome__Stokes-Adams_syndrome__atrioventricular_block recurrent sudden attacks of unconsciousness caused by impaired conduction of the impulse that regulates the heartbeat
subtype: #premature_ventricular_contraction__prematureventricularcontraction__pvc irregularity of cardiac rhythm; recurrent occurrences can be a precursor of ventricular fibrillation
subtype: #tachycardia abnormally rapid heartbeat (over 100 beats per minute)
subtype: #ventricular_fibrillation__ventricularfibrillation fibrillation of heart muscles resulting in interference with rhythmic contractions of the ventricles and possibly leading to cardiac arrest
subtype: #cardiomyopathy__myocardiopathy a disorder (usually of unknown origin) of the heart muscle (myocardium)
subtype: #hypertrophic_cardiomyopathy a disorder in which the heart muscle is so strong that it does not relax enough to fill with the heart with blood and so has reduced pumping ability
subtype: #heart_failure__heartfailure__coronary_failure inability of the heart to pump enough blood to sustain normal bodily functions
subtype: #congestive_heart_failure inability to pump enough blood to avoid congestion in the tissues
subtype: #heart_attack__heartattack a sudden severe instance of abnormal heart function
subtype: #valvular_heart_disease heart disease caused by stenosis of the cardiac valves and obstructed blood flow or caused by degeneration and blood regurgitation
subtype: #aortic_stenosis abnormal narrowing of the aortic valve
subtype: #mitral_valve_prolapse cardiopathy resulting from the mitral valve not regulating the flow of blood between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart
subtype: #mitral_stenosis__mitral_valve_stenosis obstruction or narrowing of the mitral valve (as by scarring from rheumatic fever)
subtype: #rheumatic_heart_disease__rheumaticheartdisease heart disease caused by recurrent episodes of rheumatic fever; characterized by changes in the myocardium or scarring of the heart valves that reduce the power of the heart to pump blood
