The heart?

Well, heart disease would primarily affect the heart... The heart supplies the body with blood, so after the heart the rest of the major organs would be affected. It depends on which kind of heart disease you have as to which organs it affects next. If you have any heart disease then you'll be lucky to prevent any further damage for your other organs unless it's being treated, in which case most should be reversible. If you're worried you should really talk to your GP...

good question. heart disease not only affects the heart but from its inadequate pumping it can affect the lungs by alowing fliud to build up. it can affect circulation by pushing fluid outside the cells causing swelling in legs and feet called edema. it can affect the brain by not pumping enough blood effectively to your head. so all in all heart disease affects every part of the body.

What kind of heart disease? The heart is a organ whose primary function is to pump blood through the pulmonary ( right side ) and systemic circulations ( left side). So the first affects of the heart disease depend on defect location, but since our vascular system is a close circulation, it will progress to other side and finally heart failure.
5 :
the lungs cause the heart

Can I donate blood if I have heart disease?
I want to make sure that blood donation is not dangerous for my heart. I have angina and coronary artery calcium score of 225. I am 47 years old, male.

I think you are a high risk to donate blood.
2 :
The majority of blood collection facilities would defer you as a volunteer donor if your angina is current and/or you are taking heart medications (Beat blockers, nitroglycerine, etc). If you have had cardiac bypass surgery and your angina is now gone, have no heart attack history, are currently off cardiac medications and have no restrictions on physical activity, you may be eligible to donate 1 year after surgery. Each medical director is allowed to determine the eligibility of potential donors with cardiac conditions. Please contact your local blood center for specific guidelines

fatty and processed meat
2 :
Of course there is, everything you eat or drink ends up in your blood stream. Why is so easy to believe that drinking over long term can mess up your health yet some people still don't believe that diet affects health.
3 :
of course it is not rocket science look at the people who eat fast food and the people that dont.
4 :
Duhhh!! Thats like atleast half the reason people get heart disease
5 :
yes and the things people smoke everything is involved with the heart cholesterol ...etc from the food that we consume can clog the valves and arteries of the heart preventing blood flow to occur...which means the heart stops and after two minutes or less the body shuts down instantly and we die THE END
6 :
YES. The types of food you eat can lead to a condition called atherosclerosis. It's basically a buildup of fatty materials or cholesterol within the arteries. This can lead to blood clots. If a blood clot stops the flow of blood to the heart, then you will have a heart attack. If one of the clots stops blood flow to the brain, you will have a stroke. So yeah, bad food can lead to bad problems with your heart.
7 :
Of course. But eating healthy meals should always be paired with exercise.
8 :
no really? imagine that, processed food a cause of major chronic diseases! no way! that's why we are suppose to eat right! eat more fresh whole foods.. eat your 5/5 a day (5 fresh fruits and veggies each) and keep the garbage down to a minimum.. dairy, meats, processed junk... heart disease is just the end result.. it starts with the digestive tract then moves to the organs.
9 :
From my education I know food containing saturated fats have more hydrogen in them. The fats being carried in your blood often bond to the insides of your vessels and make plaque for this reason. During moments of extremely quick blood flow, do to exercise, health risks, etc, part of the clot is ripped and the soft fat can link to passing blood cells, form a clot, and if in your coronary artery, kill you since your heart cannot get the blood it needs to work.
10 :
need to watch super size me processed people will scare you straight to the veggie counter....
