Chronic Cardiac Conditions

Meaning

Chronic cardiac conditions encompass a spectrum of long-term diseases affecting the structure and function of the heart, requiring ongoing medical management and monitoring. These conditions include, but are not limited to, coronary artery disease, chronic heart failure, and persistent arrhythmias. The progressive nature of these diseases often leads to impaired quality of life and is a major determinant of longevity and healthspan. Managing these states involves mitigating risk factors and optimizing cardiovascular hemodynamics.
