Angina is chest pain caused by heart disease. It is when the arteries that carry blood to the heart have narrowed, so your heart cannot get the oxygen it needs to work. People with angina have a higher risk of having a heart attack.

Atrial fibrillation (AF or AFib) is a problem with the heart's electrical system. It causes heart rhythm changes. Instead of a normal steady beat, the heartbeat is fast and varies in speed (irregular). Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm problem, especially in older people.

Chest pain is common. If you or a member of your whānau has chest pain, it will likely be caused by something minor. But, chest pain can also be caused by a serious problem like a heart attack. It is important to find out the cause.

Anyone can have a heart attack – but it is more likely if you already have angina or other risk factors. Getting immediate treatment for a heart attack can reduce the damage to your heart and may even save your life.

Heart and diabetes checks can help save lives — they let you know what your risk is and help you find ways to improve your health.

High blood pressure is when the force of your blood against your artery walls is too high, for too long. High blood pressure is diagnosed with a blood pressure test.
