Cardiovascular medicine covers a wide variety of common conditions, primarily including hypertension, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease. Coronary artery disease has a high incidence rate and is further classified into angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. Cardiomyopathy includes several types such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and restrictive cardiomyopathy. Heart failure is a relatively severe condition. Arrhythmias are also common in cardiovascular medicine and include various types such as atrial premature contractions, ventricular premature contractions, and atrial fibrillation. These diseases are often associated with organ function decline in middle-aged and elderly individuals, as well as unhealthy lifestyle habits.
