  1. 5. Serious infection of heart valves which may cause severe inflammation not only in valves but also in the inner lining of the heart
  2. 7. Affecting mainly males, it is a hereditary disorder of circulatory fluid caused by the absence of one of the blood clotting factors
  3. 9. circulation: Takes oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs and oxygen-rich blood back to the heart again
  4. 10. Disorders: the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system
  5. 11. Attack: Also known as Myocardial Infarction, a medical emergency which arises when a portion of heart is not supplied with oxygenated blood due to blockage in any of the coronary arteries of coronary circulatory system
  6. 12. stiffness and hardness in blood vessels, it causes hindrance in pulsation and effective flow of circulatory fluid through channels.
  7. 13. rhythm disorder which results in irregular and uncontrolled beating of heart
  8. 14. Defects: an abnormality in the formation of one or more parts of the circulatory system
  9. 15. Heart Failure: A serious disorder in which heart is incapable of pumping enough blood as required by cells to meet their oxygen requirements
  10. 17. Blood vessels that return blood to the heart
  11. 18. circulation: Takes oxygen-rich blood to the tissues and organs of the body

  1. 1. Weakening of the blood vessel wall causes a ballooning bulge
  2. 2. Fever: caused by gram positive, spherical bacteria called streptococci that infect not only heart but also joints, kidneys, skin and brain.
  3. 3. The blood vessels that take blood away from the heart.
  4. 4. A condition resulting in the abnormal enlargement, thickening and stiffening of heart muscles
  5. 6. Very small vessels that lie between the arteries and veins.
  6. 8. hardening of the arteries, develops when deposits called plaques form along the inner walls of medium to large arteries
  7. 16. Veins: Twisting and inflammation of veins near the skin surface that occurs when defective or weak valves cannot regulate the flow of deoxygenated blood in one direction.
