  2. Angiogram – An imaging test that uses dye and X-rays to view the heart's arteries.
  3. Cyanotic Heart Disease – Congenital (from birth) heart defects that result in low oxygen levels.
  4. Cardiomyopathy – A Disease of the heart muscle, weakening its ability to pump blood.
  5. Bypass Surgery (Coronary Bypass) – Surgery to improve blood flow to the heart by redirecting blood around blocked arteries.
  6. Arrhythmia – An irregular heart rhythm; can be too fast, too slow, or erratic.
  7. Valve Prolapse – When a heart valve doesn’t close properly.
  8. Aorta – The largest artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
  9. Stress Test – Measures heart function under physical exertion or medication-induced stress.
  10. Tachycardia – Fast heart rate (above 100 beats per minute).​
  11. Hypertension – High blood pressure, a leading risk factor for heart disease.
