Heart Disease is heart and blood vessel disease, also called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque in the walls of the arteries that narrows arteries making it hard for blood to flow. This can also constrict the arteries, ultimately causing the vessels to die. Atherosclerosis can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Some types of heart disease can be heart attack, stroke, heart failure, arrhythmias, and heart valve problems. Here is a bit deeper dive into these diseases, how they are caused, and their treatments. Heart attacks are when a blood clot blocks blood flow, and the arteries begin to die. Medications and therapy can help but will not regenerate once a blood vessel dies. A stroke can be either ischemic, when a blood vessel to the brain gets blocked, or hemorrhagic, meaning a blood vessel bursts in the brain. Treatments for stroke include medication and carotid endarterectomy. Heart Failure, also known as congestive heart failure, is when the heart is pumping, but blood and oxygen are not being pumped. To help this, medication, coronary angioplasty, and coronary artery bypass graft surgery will be conducted. Arrhythmias can be irregular heart movements, or the heart can pump too fast or too slow. Treatments include medications and pacemakers. Finally, heart valve problems can either be stenotic, when the valves don't open enough to let blood through, or regurgitation, when blood leaks through the valves, or prolapse, where the valves bulge back into the upper chamber. Treatments include meditation and heart valve surgery. Many factors contribute to these heart diseases, but human malnourishment is a massive factor in cardiovascular diseases.
An essential factor in ensuring that heart disease does not occur is having a healthy diet, which includes low saturated fats, high fiber, and high plant food diets. Food-related risk factors for cardiovascular disease are obesity, high blood pressure, uncontrollable diabetes, and a diet of high saturated fats. Risk factors can be changed or unchangeable; for example, some unchangeable factors include age, gender, ethnicity, and family history, and changing factors include smoking, diet, cholesterol, blood pressure, body weight, diabetes, and physical activity. LDL cholesterol can lead to plaque forming, while HDL cholesterol can help remove cholesterol from the body making it harder for plaque to form, which causes atherosclerosis. Saturated fats and trans fats increase bad LDL cholesterol, but monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats reduce your risk of heart disease by replacing energy intake from saturated and trans with unsaturated, which are good. Finally, another factor to consider in your diet is sodium which can cause hypertension, heart disease, and stroke. In America, most people consume ten times the amount they should in their diets. To ensure a healthy balanced diet, have 1⁄4 protein, 1⁄4 carbohydrates, and 1⁄2 vegetables. Essential foods for your heart health are Oily fish, vegetable oils, fruit and vegetables, whole grains, unrefined carbohydrate sources with a low glycaemic load, nuts and seeds, tea, vitamin E (avocados, dark green vegetables), and Garlic. Foods to avoid include Fried and processed foods, saturated fats, carbohydrates, red meats, salt, sodium, and no more than two drinks of alcohol daily. Eating a well-balanced and healthy diet will ensure your physical and mental, and heart health, lowering your risk of sustaining a heart disease or emergency.
Goals
The main goal of this WikiProject is:
- To help manage the template namespace of Wikipedia.
Scope
It consists of:
- Conducting efforts to better organize, document and display all templates in the template namespace, including: navigation templates, infobox templates, inline templates linking country articles, stub types, image copyright tags and user language templates (Babel).
- Solving specific templates issues, such as standardisation and locations.
- Improving the general documentation on how to create and use templates, in addition to improving the documentation pages of the individual templates.
- Clean-up of the unused, unneeded and/or redundant templates, using the templates for discussion (TfD) process and guidelines.
- Providing help and guidance in creating, updating, correcting and testing templates.
- Improving template accessibility

- Create requested templates
Best template-related pages
These pages are the best pages concerning lists of templates, and should be examples for other template-related pages.
- Image copyright tags: It's a complete list of all Image copyright tags, with a description of each template. In addition to a great categorisation and documentation of these tags.
- Stub types: Also a complete list of stub templates, well categorised, and with statistics.
