Cardiovascular disease

2. Artery Disease : Narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, which supply the heart muscle with oxygen-rich blood, usually due to plaque buildup.
7. A condition where an organ or tissue does not receive enough blood flow, resulting in a lack of oxygen.
8. A sac formed by a bulge in the wall of a blood vessel (commonly the aorta) or heart tissue due to a weakened wall.
11. A disease of the heart muscle that makes the heart stiff, enlarged, or thickened, impairing its ability to pump blood effectively.
12. Vein Thrombosis : A blood clot that forms in a deep vein, most often in the leg.
13. A fatty substance necessary for the body, but high levels in the blood hyperlipidemia contribute to plaque buildup.
14. Embolism : A sudden, life-threatening blockage in a lung artery, often caused by a blood clot (embolus) that travels from a deep vein in the leg (DVT).
16. Disease : Conditions affecting the blood vessels that supply the brain, which can lead to a stroke (blockage or rupture of a brain blood vessel) or transient ischemic attack (TIA), a temporary stroke.
18. Abnormally low blood pressure.
19. Inflammation of the pericardium, the thin, fluid-filled sac that surrounds and protects the heart.
21. A general term for the hardening and stiffening of artery walls, which occurs naturally with aging and leads to high blood pressure. Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis caused by plaque buildup.

1. Heart Disease : A heart problem, such as a hole in the heart's septum or malformed valves, that is present at birth.
3. Dissection: A life-threatening emergency caused by a tear in the inner layer of the aorta, the body's largest artery.
4. The most common underlying cause of many cardiovascular diseases; it involves the buildup of a waxy substance called plaque (fats, cholesterol, etc.) inside the artery walls, which narrows the arteries and restricts blood flow
5. Failure: A progressive condition where the heart muscle is weakened and cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, leading to fluid buildup in the lungs and other body parts.
6. The medical study of the heart and its functions.
9. The medical term for high levels of cholesterol and other fats like triglycerides in the blood.
10. Persistently elevated blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke.
15. Arrest: A life-threatening emergency where the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, requiring immediate CPR and/or use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).
17. : An abnormal heart rate or rhythm, where the heart beats too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregularly. A common type is atrial fibrillation (AFib), where the upper chambers quiver.
20. Heart Disease: Damage to heart muscle and valves caused by rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease resulting from a bacterial infection streptococcus bacteria
