Any insufficiency in the delivery of blood to the body is fatal. Chronic insufficiency interferes with oxygen exchange in the lung, the function of the kidneys and liver function. Your heart is the main reason you are alive, if something is wrong with your heart there is a strong chance you will die. Your heart is responsible for not only for a transport system but it is used to fight disease, but if the heart is the diseased, your heart is less likely to save itself. It is important to keep your heart healthy by regular exercise and a healthy/balanced diet, and to avoid bad habits like smoking and drinking and junk food.

There are different diseases of heart and they impact the heart slightly differently. The one that gets so much attention is coronary artery disease. This is where the blood flow to the heart is diminished due to blockages in the arteries that feed the heart blood and oxygen. This makes your heart work harder and may stop functioning normally until it can regain proper blood supply. Heart By-pass surgery allows the arteries to go around the blockage and allows blood to flow freely the the cardiac tissue.

your arteries will clog and you will have a heart attack. This happens because all your fat gets stored around your heart and as that happens the heart has no room to pump blood properly.
