Disability-adjusted life year for inflammatory heart diseases per 100,000 inhabitants in 2004 There are many cardiovascular diseases involving the blood vessels. They are known as vascular diseases. * Coronary artery disease (also known as coronary heart disease and ischemic heart disease) * Peripheral arterial disease – disease of blood vessels that supply blood to the arms and legs * Cerebrovascular disease – disease of blood vessels that supply blood to the brain (includes stroke) * Renal artery stenosis * Aortic aneurysm There are also many cardiovascular diseases that involve the heart. * Cardiomyopathy – diseases of cardiac muscle * Hypertensive heart disease – diseases of the heart secondary to high blood pressure or hypertension * Heart failure - a clinical syndrome caused by the inability of the heart to supply sufficient blood to the tissues to meet their metabolic requirements * Pulmonary heart disease – a failure at the right side of the heart with respiratory system involvement * Cardiac dysrhythmias – abnormalities of heart rhythm * Inflammatory heart disease * Endocarditis – inflammation of the inner layer of the heart, the endocardium. The structures most commonly involved are the heart valves. * Inflammatory cardiomegaly * Myocarditis – inflammation of the myocardium, the muscular part of the heart, caused most often by viral infection and less often by bacterial infections, certain medications, toxins, and autoimmune disorders. It is characterized in part by infiltration of the heart by lymphocyte and monocyte types of white blood cells. * Eosinophilic myocarditis - inflammation of the myocardium caused by pathologically activated eosinophilic white blood cells. This disorder differs from myocarditis in its causes and treatments. * Valvular heart disease * Congenital heart disease – heart structure malformations existing at birth * Rheumatic heart disease – heart muscles and valves damage due to rheumatic fever caused by Streptococcus pyogenes a group A streptococcal infection.
