There are many types of conduction disorders that can occur anywhere along the cardiac conduction system: at the sinoatrial (SA) node, the atrioventricular (AV) node, or the bundle branches. The problem can be with signal generation, how the signal travels through the heart, or both. Disorders can occur on a much smaller level within ion channels in a heart muscle cell that work together to make the heart cell contract.

People who have certain conditions may benefit from CABG, such as those who have obstructive coronary artery disease, a type of ischemic heart disease. Obstructive coronary artery disease occurs when plaque builds up in the coronary arteries that supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood.

BPD is a type of neonatal respiratory disease that develops as a result of a newborn's lungs not developing normally while the baby is growing in the womb or not developing fully if the baby was born premature. These babies’ lungs are fragile and can be easily irritated or inflamed after birth. Ventilation, high levels of oxygen, or infections can also damage premature newborns' lungs.

Circadian rhythm disorders occur when your sleep-wake cycle is out of sync with your environment. Many factors, both internal and external, can cause you to have problems sleeping and raise your risk for a circadian rhythm disorder.

External factors such as your lifestyle habits, environment, and occupation can also increase your risk.

Hay muchos factores de riesgo para la enfermedad isquémica del corazón. Su riesgo de enfermedad isquémica del corazón aumenta con el tipo y la cantidad de factores de riesgo que tiene, y qué tan graves son. Algunos factores de riesgo, como la presión arterial alta y el colesterol alto en la sangre, se pueden cambiar a través de cambios en el estilo de vida saludable para el corazón. Otros factores de riesgo, como el género, la edad avanzada, los antecedentes familiares y genéticos, y la raza y el origen étnico no se pueden modificar.
