the disease may be Angina Pectoris: Pain due to narrowing of coronary arteries secondary to aortic stenosis or low pressure; may also be due to sevgere anemia, hyperthyroidism, or excercise
Congenital heart disease, also called congenital heart defect, includes a variety of malformations of the heart or its major blood vessels that are present at birth.
These are three things concerned with narrowing of artery or veins.
Aortic Stenosis:
The aortic valve is stiffened and has a narrowed opening
Coarctation of the Aorta:
Narrowing of a portion of the aorta, and often seriously decreases the blood flow from the heart out to the lower portion of the body.
Pulmonary Stenosis
The pulmonic valve is stiffened and has a narrowed opening (a condition called stenosis).
