Doctors and scientists have identified behaviors that contribute to Heart disease. Common causes of heart disease include smoking. Smoking affects the heart and lung and makes it difficult for these organs to oxygenate the body. Eating fatty foods clogs the heart's arteries and also contributes to heart disease. People with clogged arteries must undergo surgery to remove the plaque build up around the heart. Being inactive also contributes to heart disease and comprises cardiac health.
