Pulmonary embolism


Pulmonary embolism is a serious and potentially life-threatening medical condition that occurs when a blood clot travels from another part of the body and lodges in the pulmonary artery, blocking blood flow to the lungs. Pulmonary embolism can cause a range of symptoms, including shortness of breath, chest pain, coughing, and fatigue. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications, including heart failure and even death.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)


Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious medical condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in one of the deep veins of the body, most commonly in the leg. DVT can be life-threatening if the clot breaks off and travels to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD)


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.

Hypertension


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.

Aortic aneurysm


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.

Heart valve disease


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.

Atherosclerosis


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 failure


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.

Coronary artery disease (CAD)


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.

Myocardial infarction

Myocardial infarction

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.
