    Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women.

Heart attacks cause scar tissue to form amongst normal heart tissue, which can lead to further heart problems or even heart failure. High blood pressure occurs when the heart works too hard to pump blood through the body. Coronary artery disease develops when the coronary arteries become damaged or diseased, which is usually due to plaque buildup and inflammation in the arteries. When plaque builds up, it can harden or rupture, decreasing blood flow to the heart and potentially causing a complete block
