szívbetegséget

Szívbetegség is the Hungarian term for heart disease. It encompasses a wide range of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. These conditions can include coronary artery disease, where plaque builds up in the arteries supplying the heart muscle, leading to chest pain or heart attacks. Heart failure is another significant category, occurring when the heart cannot pump blood effectively to meet the body's needs.

Other forms of szívbetegség include arrhythmias, which are irregular heartbeats, and valvular heart disease, where the heart valves do not function properly. Congenital heart defects are structural problems present at birth. Risk factors for developing heart disease are numerous and include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, smoking, and a lack of physical activity. A family history of heart disease also increases an individual's risk.

Symptoms can vary depending on the specific condition but may include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs and feet, and palpitations. Diagnosis typically involves a medical history, physical examination, and various diagnostic tests such as electrocardiograms (ECG), echocardiograms, and blood tests. Treatment approaches depend on the type and severity of the heart disease and can involve lifestyle modifications, medications, and in some cases, surgical procedures. Early detection and management are crucial for preventing complications and improving outcomes.
