Diet has a massive impact on Heart disease. Consuming a diet that is high in simple processed sugars, saturated fat and cholesterol increases the risk of heart disease. In contrast, consuming a diet that is high in fiber, fruits, vegetables and whole grains decreases the risk of heart disease.
Not necessarily. While diet is extremely important in preventing heart disease, there are other factors that can contribute to it, such as gender, age, race, a family history of heart disease, stress, etc.
Heart disease is worse in the present than in the past. First: people are living longer. That means hearts have more time to degenerate. Second: people are fatter. That means fat is clogging arteries leading to the heart. Third: People are walking less. That causes the arteries to lose flexibility and become harder. The only positive feature is that people are smoking less. That causes less damage. So, getting older, fatter, and lazier makes heart disease worse.
Fat.
Smoking causes heart disease and increases your chance of heart failure vastly. If your heart is already in bad shape which it is if you need a mitral valve replacement which is on the left side of the heart. Then I would say that you are only damaging the heart even more if it is in bad shape as is.
Heart transplant is only done if the heart has been terribly damaged by infection or disease, and if there are no other ways to improve heart function.
Many things like smoking, lack of exercise and bad diet increase the risk of getting heart disease. Your genetics are just another thing that could increase the risk of you getting heart disease.
Most of the causes from heart disease come from our diet. Consuming animal based foods and processed foods leads to a buildup of arterial plaque and general inflammation within the body. If one switches to a minimally-processed, whole foods, plant-based diet, heart disease can not only be prevented but reversed. See the related link for a video of a woman who has reversed heart disease just by changing what she ate.
Liver disease is the only known cause, smoking is also known to contribute
Yes. There are a variety of very good treatments for various types of Heart disease. Only in the end-stage is heart disease quite difficult to treat. It is also important to remember - that all heart disease patients should avoid added salt (and any excess sodium in the diet) along with severely limiting fried foods and processed foods (especially those containing simple sugars and saturated fats).
The British heart foundation diet can work if only you are dedicated and only follow their instruction on diet such as schedule, what kind of food your allowed to eat, etc.
a Heart disease affects every organ, not only the liver. because the heart pumps blood thoughout your body, so if you have a heart disease it might affect the bloob, infecting and affecting the organs.

Rheumatic heart disease only affects the left side of the heart because the valves that are damaged by Rheumatic fever are on the left side of the heart. A physician would be the best person to answer this question.
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death and high hospitalization costs in the United States. However, heart disease is a medical illness that can be prevented, or at least managed, by identifying risk factors that can cause or worsen heart disease. Many of these risk factors are due to personal habit, but some also include medical conditions that may require medical treatment. By far one of the biggest, if not the biggest, risk factors leading to heart disease is smoking. Smoking causes multiple deleterious effects in the body, but in terms of the heart, it is bound to cause long-term ischemic effects in the heart. Imagine holding your breath for 20 minutes. Even the most accomplished person may be able to hold his or her breath for two to three minutes. Each smoking episode essentially causes all the cells in the body to hold their breath for 20 minutes. What happens is that smoking is a vasoconstrictive event, causing reduction of blood flow to all organs in the body by squeezing blood vessels and making them smaller. The net effect is reduced oxygen perfusion. For the heart, this may cause less blood flow and oxygen perfusion to the heart. In addition, smoking can contribute to plaques in the heart vessels, causing direct blockage of blood flow to the heart. Simple smoking cessation improves life survival by leaps and bounds. Another important risk factor is diet. A diet heavy in salt and fat can lead to medical conditions that can cause or worsen heart disease. Though the actual medical illnesses are what causes heart failure, the way to prevent the cascade is partially in diet. A salt-heavy diet can lead to high blood pressure, or hypertension. Hypertension itself can cause remodeling in the heart due to the continuous high pressure burden on the heart, leading to heart failure. A fat-heavy diet can lead to high levels of cholesterol and lipids, increasing the chances of a heart attack; heart attacks in itself are causes of heart failure. An unbalanced diet with lots of refined sugars and sweets can lead to diabetes mellitus type II. Diabetes itself can cause heart failure through a variety of mechanisms. Eating a diet with moderation of salt, fat and refined sugar increases survival rates and reduces incidence of heart failure. Other causes of heart failure are not as prevalent as the ones described above, but are contributory. Managing medical illnesses such as hyperthyroidism, hypertension and diabetes properly can prevent the onset of heart failure. Alcoholic cardiomyopathy, caused by massive alcohol abuse, can be prevented by simple moderation of alcohol. By identifying these risk factors and ceasing them, not only does the incidence of heart failure go down, but also the quality of life in general goes up due to other healthy benefits.
Fat.
I do not believe that the celiac disease diet is for weight loss. it is for people who have the disease, and must eat only certain foods and food products.

The top 10 causes of death in Thailand are cancer, ischemic heart disease, stroke, lower respiratory infections, HIV, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, road accidents, chronic kidney disease, and cirrhosis. Road accidents are the only non-medical illness or condition on the list.
