The most common forms of heart disease are heart failure, heart valve disease, coronary artery disease and irregular heartbeat, according to a news release. Traditional risk factors for heart disease — such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and obesity — affect women and men equally. It’s an equal opportunity condition.

The good news is that there are many new treatment options for heart disease that not only allow patients to live longer but also improve their quality of life, the release stated.

More information on the subject is available at the heath care company’s website.

In addition to its Goodyear campus, Abrazo Health operates Abrazo Buckeye Emergency Center in Buckeye, MedPost Urgent Care Center in Litchfield Park, and a host of hospitals, freestanding emergency centers, urgent care, primary care and specialty physician practices across the Valley.
