The heart may beat irregularly or stop beating completely. An early sign, that a person is having a heart attack , is a feeling of pressure in the middle of the chest. Another type of cardiovascular disease, congestive heart failure, is the gradual weakening of the heart muscles that occurs over a long period of time. This condition occurs in a person with diseased arteries and hypertension. A known factor that contributes to developing this type of heart failure is the use of illegal drugs, such as cocaine, crack cocaine, and heroin.
1. What happens in a person who has congestive heart failure?
2. When does congestive heart failure occur?
3. What is a known factor that can contribute to developing congestive heart failure?

A known factor that contributes to developing this type of heart failure is the use of illegal drugs, such as cocaine, crack cocaine, and heroin. A stroke is caused by having; clogged arteries, hypertension, and blood clots. When a person is having a stroke, the blood supply to the brain is cut off. The result of the loss of blood flow causes certain parts of the brain to stop functioning. A person will often experience problems with; speech, vision, balance, and their ability to move various parts of their body.
1. Explain a known factor that contributes to developing congestive heart failure.
2. Explain the causes of a stroke and what is happening when a person is having one.
3. Explain the result of the loss of blood flow to the brain, and problems associated with it.
