Diseases of the heart and blood vessels (cardiology)

Angiopathy of the extremities

Today we will talk about what angiopathy of the extremities is, how serious this diagnosis is, and how to overcome the disease.

Viral myocarditis

Viral myocarditis is a pathological condition of viral genesis with damage to the myocardium (heart muscle).

What to do when you have high blood pressure?

What to do with high blood pressure, how to help a person, what to do? This question often appears on the Internet. The main thing is to call an ambulance or contact your doctor.

Acute left ventricular failure

Acute left ventricular failure often develops in patients with myocardial infarction, hypertension, heart defects and coronary atherosclerosis. Such acute heart failure manifests itself primarily in the form of pulmonary edema. Pathogenetically and depending on the mechanism of development, two forms of pulmonary edema are distinguished.

Right ventricular hypertrophy

Right ventricular hypertrophy (right ventricular myocardial hypertrophy) is a condition in which the size of the right ventricle of the heart increases, muscle tissue builds up, thereby increasing the load on the human blood pump itself – the heart.

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PVT) is a type of arrhythmia that is characterized by a sudden, paroxysmal increase in the heart rate.

Left atrial hypertrophy

Probably, many have personally encountered or heard from friends about a diagnosed condition such as left atrium hypertrophy. What is it? How dangerous is it, since it is known that from the lungs, blood enriched with oxygen goes directly to the left atrium?

Stent thrombosis

The stent surface has the ability to “attract” platelets, but after a short period of time the metal surface becomes covered with precipitating proteins, which somewhat reduces the risk of stent thrombosis.

PQ interval prolongation

Prolongation of the PQ interval, according to the decoding of the cardiogram, means a delay in impulse conduction or partial or complete intra-atrial (atrioventricular) block.

False aneurysm

A false aneurysm (pseudoaneurysm, pulsating hematoma, PA) is a communication between the lumen of an artery and the adjacent connective tissue, which leads to the formation of a cavity filled with blood.
