Cardiology

Acute coronary syndrome is any group of clinical signs or symptoms suggesting acute myocardial infarction (death of cardiac muscle cells due to impaired blood flow in this area) or unstable angina (a variant of acute myocardial ischemia, the severity and duration of which is insufficient for the development of myocardial infarction).

The patient's pulse, according to experienced doctors, is the mirror of heart health. A frequent or low pulse indicates a developing pathology. According to the rhythmic contraction of the heart muscle, doctors judge the blood flow, the health of the bloodstream, the state of the heart as a whole, and if the rhythm deviates from the norm, then this condition is called arrhythmia.

Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when the blood supply to a part of the heart muscle is blocked or reduced, leading to damage or death of the affected tissue.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a medical condition in which the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of plaque. It is a common and potentially life-threatening condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

Heart failure is a medical condition that occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body\'s needs. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including damage to the heart muscle, high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, and other underlying health conditions.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease that affects the arteries, which are the blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. It occurs when fatty deposits, cholesterol, and other substances build up inside the arteries, causing them to become narrowed and less flexible.

Heart valve disease is a condition that occurs when one or more of the heart\'s valves do not function properly, leading to reduced blood flow or the backward flow of blood. There are four valves in the heart: the mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve, and pulmonary valve.

Aortic aneurysm is a serious medical condition that occurs when a section of the aorta, the largest artery in the body, bulges or balloons out. If left untreated, an aortic aneurysm can burst or rupture, causing life-threatening internal bleeding.

Hypertension is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is a condition in which the force of the blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the resistance of the arteries to the blood flow. When the heart pumps, blood flows through the arteries and exerts pressure against their walls. This pressure is called systolic blood pressure. When the heart is at rest, the pressure in the arteries drops to a lower level, called diastolic blood pressure.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition that occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the legs, arms, stomach, and kidneys become narrowed or blocked. This condition is also known as peripheral vascular disease and can be caused by a buildup of plaque, a fatty material that accumulates inside the walls of the arteries.
