Question 1

What are the signs of heart disease?

Accepted Answer

Heart disease is a term used to describe a variety of conditions that affect the heart. The most common type of heart disease is coronary artery disease, which occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This can lead to chest pain and shortness of breath, as well as other symptoms. Other types of heart disease include hypertensive heart disease, cardiomyopathy, and valvular heart diseases.

Heart disease is typically caused by plaque buildup in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This can lead to chest pain and shortness of breath, as well as other symptoms such as dizziness or fainting spells. Heart attacks are also possible with this condition because it prevents oxygen from reaching the cells in your body's vital organs. There are many different types of heart diseases including coronary artery disease, hypertensive heart disease, cardiomyopathy, and valvular disorders. 
Symptoms vary depending on what type you have but some common signs include chest pain or discomfort (angina), shortness of breath (dyspnea), fatigue or weakness (fatigue), unusual sweating (diaphoresis), irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) and dizziness or fainting spells (syncope).

Question 2

What is an electrocardiogram (ECG)?

Accepted Answer

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart. The ECG records both the timing and voltage of each heartbeat, and is a useful tool for diagnosing many cardiac conditions.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart. The ECG records both the timing and voltage of each heartbeat, and is a useful tool for diagnosing many cardiac conditions. This test can be done in various ways: using electrodes placed on the skin, with wires inserted into blood vessels near to the heart, or by wearing an electrode-containing vest.
A normal ECG will show an even pattern without any abnormal waves or spikes. An abnormal ECG may indicate problems such as coronary artery disease, hypertrophy, or arrhythmia.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that records the electrical activity of your heart by measuring its timing and voltage patterns from which it can diagnose many cardiac conditions. There are three ways to do this: with electrodes placed on your skin; with wires inserted into blood vessels near your heart; or by wearing an electrode-containing vest. A normal ECG will show an even pattern without any abnormal waves or spikes while an abnormal one may indicate problems such as coronary artery disease, hypertrophy, or arrhythmia.

Question 3

Where is the electrical system of the heart located?

Accepted Answer

The electrical system of the heart is located in the upper right chamber of the heart, called the right atrium. The electrical system is made up of a bundle of cells called an "electrical conduction system." This system sends electrical signals to other parts of the heart and helps regulate its pumping action.

The bundle branches out into many smaller bundles that connect with individual muscle cells in each part of the heart. These muscle cells are responsible for contracting and relaxing to pump blood throughout your body.

In order for these muscles to contract, they need a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood from your lungs. When you inhale, air fills your lungs and expands them so that they can take in more oxygen from the air you breathe in. This oxygen-rich blood then travels through your arteries to all parts of your body including your heart where it feeds hungry muscles cells with life-giving oxygen.
