Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD): is a tear in an artery wall in your heart that allows blood to build up in the space between the layers of your artery wall
Coronary Artery Disease (Heart Disease): is caused by plaque buildup in the wall of the arteries that supply blood to the heart (called coronary arteries). Plaque is made up of cholesterol deposits. Plaque buildup causes the inside of the arteries to narrow over time.
Diastolic Heart Failure: a condition in which your heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle) becomes stiff and unable to fill properly. Diastolic heart failure is one of two kinds of left-sided heart failure.
Broken Heart Syndrome (Stress Cardiomyopathy): occurs when a person experiences sudden acute stress that can rapidly weaken the heart muscle.
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM): is a weakness of the heart muscle that by definition begins sometime during the final month of pregnancy through about five months after delivery, without any other known cause.
