Enlarged myocardium is a disease of the heart muscle that protects the muscle from the force of its contraction. Therefore, the heart cannot pump enough blood to the organs in the body. The heart becomes weak and the four heart chambers become larger (dilated). These chambers are the atria and the ventricles of the heart. The muscles may thicken to give more force to contract to allow the blood to pump normally. Heart valves may be affected. When the chambers of the heart are enlarged This can worsen circulation. Impaired heart function can affect the lungs, liver, and other organs.

Cholesterol is a type of fat or fat. Helps the body work better Cholesterol is created in the liver and carries fat into the bloodstream. In the body, cholesterol makes a protein-fat chemical called lipoprotein. Lipoproteins are grouped into VLDLs, LDLs, which are “bad cholesterol,” and high-density lipoproteins, HDLs, which are “good cholesterol,” help remove fat. From the bloodstream, higher HDL levels are better than VLDL and LDL can clog arteries, high levels of cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides. Fatty substances (fatty substances) increase the risk for hardening of the arteries. (atherosclerosis) and heart disease

Blood pressure is the force that sends blood through the arteries from the heart c. Increased blood pressure puts a strain on your circulatory system. The blood pressure system is divided. It's two numbers, systolic pressure is the top number. and the diastolic pressure is the lower number. Both are recorded as mm Hg (millimeters of mercury), which indicates how high the mercury column is raised by the pressure. The systolic pressure is the highest pressure when the heart contracts. The diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure during contractions. Normal is 120/80. The American Heart Association defines adult hypertension as 140 mm Hg or higher systolic and/or 90mm Hg or diastolic higher.

The mitral valve in the heart lies between the left atrium atrium. And the left ventricle opens when the atrium pumps blood into the chamber and closes when the ventricle pumps blood into the body. The closure prevents blood from returning to the atrium. Blood flows back into the atrium due to Leaky mitral valves Blood is not being pumped out of the heart properly. and the upper atrium cannot be filled in the next round. Blood may rush to the right side to the lungs. and fills the lungs with fluid The left ventricle has to do more work to move the blood. Later, it can cause heart failure.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is an emergency medical condition that occurs in the lungs as a result of a blockage in a vein. A thrombosis occurs when a blood clot breaks out of a vein (venous thrombus) in another part of the body. Usually in the legs and reaching the lungs, it can be life-threatening and requires urgent treatment.

An aortic rupture is a life-threatening condition in which bleeding ruptures in the walls of the aorta and causes it to separate. The three walls are the inner, middle, and outer layers. The aorta is the largest artery and carries blood from the heart.

It is a narrowing or blockage of the mitral valve located between the left atrium. The ventricle is the left ventricle (one of the upper chambers of the heart) and the left ventricle (one of the lower chambers in the heart).

is a serious infectious disease caused by the variola virus. Variola virus is contagious. spread from one person to another People with smallpox develop a fever and an invasive skin rash. Most people with smallpox recover, but about 3 out of 10 people with the disease die. Many smallpox survivors have permanent scars on various parts of their bodies, especially their faces. and some are blind

chickenpox (also called varicella) is a highly contagious virus. Diseases that affect the skin and mucous membranes Most cases occur in young people, most often in children 2 to 8. In adults, the illness is more severe and lasts longer.

The atrium is the top chamber of the heart. The ventricular ventricle is the lower chamber. In the atrial flutter, it begins to beat rapidly due to excessive abnormal electrical impulses. The atrium tries to shrink. But the contractions that are too fast can be up to 300 beats per minute, instead of 60 to 100. Atrial flutter is more common in older people. mostly men

TRight heart catheterization is called a pulmonary artery catheter. to find out how well the heart and blood vessels are working and treat heart disease Most coronary catheters are done in a laboratory.

TIt is a narrowing of the carotid artery. This artery is the main artery that carries oxygenated blood to the brain. Aortic stenosis occurs in 5 out of 1,000 people 50 - 60 years old and is more common in 100 out of 1,000 people older than 80.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death and disease in the United States. Although regular exercise can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CV) such as CHD and high blood pressure (hypertension) Many people do not exercise. Fitness is important to cardiovascular health.

The aorta is a large, important artery attached to the left side. side of the heart other medium blood vessels from the aorta which carries blood and oxygen to the body. Coarctation is an abnormal narrowing of the aorta.

Myocardial infarction (MI), or heart attack, is defined as the heart muscle injury or death due to insufficiency. oxygen due to clogged arteries Doctors often attribute heart disease symptoms to other factors in female patients. And women are often skeptical of having MI and attending late, with nearly half dying from heart attacks, half of MI deaths. Women are also about 10 years more likely to live longer than men with MI, and are more likely to have MI. have other chronic diseases too

Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in the blood most commonly in the body. Cholesterol is another. Store them in fat cells for later use. Triglycerides are the primary source of energy if eaten in normal amounts is essential to good health.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (also known as HCM, IHSS, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy) is an illness affecting the heart muscle. It interferes with the heart’s ability to pump blood. Sometimes it also changes the heart’s natural rhythm, which leads to irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). One type of cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, occurs when the heart’s muscle fi bers grow abnormally. Heart walls thicken, especially in the left ventricle (the main pumping chamber). The left ventricle becomes smaller inside, the heart cannot rest completely between beats, and the ventricle pumps less blood out of the heart. People are at risk for fainting (syncope), chest pain (angina), diffi culty breathing (dyspnea), and sudden death. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy affects people of all ages, including children. It can cause sudden death even in children and young adults.

CHF is a condition in which the heart cannot (fails to) pump enough blood to organs and tissues. One side of the heart (or both sides) cannot force enough blood out, so blood backs up. Congestion, or abnormal buildup of fl uid, occurs in tissues or organs, and blood doesn’t move well through the vascular system. If the left side of the heart fails, the system on the right side becomes congested. The congested side of the heart must work harder and may also fail. The same thing can happen on the right side.

The heart is a muscular pump with four chambers, two upper (left and right atria) and two lower (left and right ventricles). These contract and pump blood. Special tissue in the heart produces and sends electrical impulses to get the muscle to contract. Normal electrical signals start from the sinoatrial (SA) node in the wall of the right atrium. From there the signal goes to the left atrium and reaches the atrioventricular (AV) node between the atria and ventricles. The signal then goes to the left and right bundle branches and fi nally the ventricles. There it stimulates ventricles to contract. Heart block refers to a disturbance of these impulses. Thirddegree heart block, or complete heart block, is one of three types (fi rst- and second-degree blocks are the others). In complete heart block, no impulses from the atria reach the ventricles. Signals are completely blocked at the AV node

The atria are the top chambers of the heart that send blood to the ventricles (bottom chambers). A septum is a wall separating the left and right sides of these chambers. An atrial septal defect (ASD) is an inborn (congenital) heart condition. It is a hole in the septum separating the left and right atria. The left side of the heart normally pumps under higher pressure than the right side. The defect produces a left-to-right shunt that allows blood from the two sides of the heart to mix. Blood with less oxygen is pumped to the body, and oxygenated blood travels back to the lungs. Abnormal circulation on the right side of the system causes increased pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension). ASD is more common in girls than boys. Some defects close as a child grows, but others may last into adulthood. ASD is the most common congenital heart defect diagnosed in adults. ASD cannot be prevented

The speed and pattern of your heartbeat is called your heart rhythm and can be felt by feeling the pulse. Your heart rhythm is set by signals from the heart’s electrical system. An abnormal heart rhythm is called an arrhythmia. Atrial fi brillation is one type of abnormal rhythm. The muscle looks as if it is wiggling instead of squeezing (contracting).

Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is a disorder in which the opening of the aortic valve in the heart is too small or stiff. A valve is like a doorway, and the aortic valve is one of four valves controlling blood fl ow inside the heart. A normal aortic valve has three fl aps (leafl ets). The heart sends oxygen rich blood to the body through this valve. In AVS, the heart works harder to pump blood through the smaller opening. This extra effort can make the heart grow big and weak. AVS occurs about three times more often in men than in women.

The aorta is the large artery that leaves the heart from the leftlower chamber (ventricle). The aortic valve is between the left ventricle and the aorta. Aortic insuffi ciency (or aortic regurgitation) is the leaking of blood from the aorta through the aortic valve into the left ventricle when the ventricle contracts. Aortic insuffi ciency causes the left ventricle to get larger because of the extra blood in it.

An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a bulging of the aorta, the main blood vessel that takes blood from the heart to organs and tissues in the lower half of the body. The aorta is the largest artery in the body, and a stretching or bulging in the aorta is dangerous because this weakened area in the wall of the aorta may split open (rupture) if not treated. These aneurysms commonly occur in people older than 60 and affect men more than women. Ruptured aneurysms are the 10th leading cause of death in men older than 55 in the United States.

The tricus is closed between the right atrium and the right ventricle. In the heart, the valves open when blood flows from the upper chambers to the lower chambers. and reflecting back to the upper chambers, causing the atria to work harder

It is a type of lymphoma. The lymph nodes protect the body from infection. There are also leukocytes, spleen, as well. About 80% can be cured. especially when treated early

Caused by the body not getting enough iron in the body to make red blood cells.

is a condition in which the heart's electrical current increases abnormally abnormally fast heartbeat It is more common in people aged 20 years. and is the cause of tachycardia in children and infants.

Caused by a leak in the ventricle of the heart between two chambers. The left chamber pressure is greater than the right chamber. So the blood goes into the mix. and less oxygen to nourish the body The right ventricle exerts pressure back to the left ventricle, increasing pressure in the pulmonary arteries. VSDs are congenital diseases.
