Cardiovascular diseases are promoted by lack of exercise, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, being overweight, eating less fruit and vegetables and excessive salt consumption.

  • Heart rhythm disturbances, or arrhythmia (In the presence of rhythm disturbances, it is necessary to rule out heart disease or damage)

  • Heart failure – almost any heart disease can lead to heart failure as a complication
