Heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease, is a catchall phrase for several types of heart conditions. The most common type of heart disease in the United States is coronary artery disease (CAD), which affects blood flow to the heart and can lead to a heart attack.

Having multiple risk factors increases your risk for heart disease.
