Abstract

Heart health is one of the most focused fields in all of medicine. One of the reasons why it is the most focused is because of the emphasis placed by organizations like the American Heart Association. The creation of these organizations is evidence for the health sector’s concern about the overall trend of diagnoses of heart disease in patients. Heart disease is an umbrella term for a number of heart defects that are developed through a lifetime. The umbrella term covers diseases like cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, cardiac arrest, and many others. To help combat this variability, many health organizations, notably the American Heart Association and the Stanford Children’s Hospital, have released ways to prevent the development of all heart diseases. It is necessary to understand the importance of keeping the heart healthy. The heart is in charge of the circulatory system in the human body. The heart pumps blood throughout the body to ensure that the cells in the body have a sufficient amount of oxygen needed in order to function. The heart and lungs work together to transport oxygen everywhere around the body. If the heart is experiencing difficulty in functionality, chances are, the lungs are negatively affected as well (Menche N (Ed). Biologie Anatomie Physiologie. Munich: Urban und Fischer; 2016). It is imperative that everything that can keep the heart healthy is done by the general population to prevent failing health in their future.
