Conditions on the spectrum of disorders can include: Arrhythmia Cholesterol Congenital Defects Diabetes Heart Attack Heart Failure High Blood Pressure Stroke Cardiac Arrest Cardiovascular Conditions Metabolic Syndrome Peripheral Artery Disease Often times heart and blood vessel problems are a result of damage to the cardiovascular system through congenital defects or lifestyle and environmental factors. Based on an individual's need and the severity of their condition, there are a variety of treatments available. Treatments can include insertion of a pacemaker, radiation treatment to clear blocked arteries, heart transplants and/or cardioversion (electroshock therapy). However, lifestyle changes and healthy choices can also help improve the condition of an individual's heart and arteries. Through their Life Check and Simple 7 program, the American Heart Association is encouraging and reminding individuals that it's never too late to start making better choices for their health. Life Check and Simple 7 were created to give individuals a simple way of learning where they are on the road to good health.

It also includes seven recommended areas of focus and an action plan that is customized to each individual's lifestyle and health outlook. Through these programs and many others, the mission of the American Heart Association is to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stoke.
