Surgery or other procedures for heart failure may include:
- Coronary bypass surgery
- Heart valve repair or replacement
- Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs)
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)
- Ventricular assist devices (VADs)
- Heart transplant
- Statins — to lower LDL cholesterol

High blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, diabetes, and smoking are key risk factors for heart disease.
Coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, heart valve disease, and heart failure are the four most common types of heart disease.
Symptoms can range from shortness of breath, fatigue, and dizziness to heart arrhythmia, palpitations, and angina.
