cardiovascular pathologies

inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart

chest pain that results when the heart does not get enough oxygen

chest pain that occurs while a person is at rest and not exerting himself

hardening of the arteries

condition in which fatty deposits called plaque build up on the inner walls of the arteries

damage to heart muscle and heart valves by rheumatic fever (a streptococcal infection)

When the aorta becomes abnormally large or balloons outward

left ventricle fails leading to fluid buildup in the lungs

right ventricle fails leading to peripheral edema

myocardium dies due to blocked blood flow/oxygen

build up of plaque in the arteries suppling the heart causing decreased blood flow

chronic high blood pressure with no single known cause

heart muscle thickens making it harder for heart to pump blood

blood clot forms in a large vein, usually in a lower limb

refers to disorders of the blood vessels located outside the heart and brain

any failure of a valve to prevent reflux, the backward flow of blood

narrowing, stiffening, thickening, or blockage of one or more valves of the heart
