What, other than high cholesterol, genetics, and high blood pressure cause heart disease


What, other than high cholesterol, genetics, and high blood pressure cause heart disease?
As my question states, is there more than just high cholesterol, genetics, and high blood pressure involved with heart disease? Are there other key components, or are these not even things that cause it? Thanks!

High blood pressure causes atherosclerosis in coronary blood vessels, which result is Heart Attack or Myocardial Infarction. Thus, a heart condition and not a heart disease. The same is true for high cholesterol, which builds up in the walls of arteries, making the risk for a heart attack be higher or becoming a risk factor for a heart disease. Genetics is true to cause heart disease and is commonly referred to as Cogential Heart Disease or Defect. Overall, other reasons for a heart disease can be smoking, drinking alcohol, physical abnormalities, certain viruses that may cause Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) & makes the heart prone to disease, certain bacteria are other factors & may result in Rheumatic Heart Disease, and etc. Good Luck
