The Daily Express website said: Heart disease Worldwide, blood vessels are responsible for approximately 18 million deaths annually, and this includes conditions that affect the heart and circulation such as strokes, coronary heart disease and heart failure.
In the UK, it causes about a quarter of all deaths, so spotting warning signs before it’s too late can save a life. Many people know some of the most common symptoms, such as chest pain. However, there are other conditions that are less well-known and not as clear.
An expert revealed that some signs appearing on your feet may indicate heart disease, which are:
Swollen feet
If your feet have edema, it could mean you have heart disease. Edema is the medical term for swelling. In the case of heart problems, this can also happen in your legs. This means “telling you that your heart is not working properly.”
Foot color changes to brown or yellow
If your feet turn brown or yellow this is called hemosiderin. This means that blood is leaking from small vessels known as capillaries.
Toes turning blue.
Blue or purple toes, known as cyanosis, occur when blood vessels are blocked and there is a lack of oxygenated blood to the tissues.
The appearance of lumps in the foot..
Painful lumps on your toes may mean a heart or blood vessel is involved. Known as Osler’s nodes, these lumps are often purplish-red in color with a painful center.

Other symptoms of heart disease include:
Chest pain and tightness, pressure on the chest, and discomfort in the chest (angina), shortness of breath, pain in the neck, jaw, throat, upper abdominal area, or back, pain, numbness, weakness, or coldness in the legs or arms if the vessels Blood circulation in these areas of the body is tight, so if you are experiencing symptoms or are concerned about your heart health, you should speak to your GP.
