heart diseases
Coronary system disorders
Heart diseases are medical conditions affecting the heart's structure or function.
The term encompasses coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, valve disorders, and congenital defects.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in many countries: His family has a history of heart disease.
The singular form typically refers to the category generally, while the plural emphasizes distinct conditions.
