(Print)
too much urea and other nitrogenous compounds in the blood
Characterized by ventricular dilation, most common type of primary cardiomyopathy
Surgical intervention to drain pericardial fluid
Inflammation of a vein in conjunction with the formation of a thrombus
severe episode of elevated blood pressure
Intermittent attacks of ischemia, especially of the fingers, toes , ears or nose, are caused by exposure to cold or emotional stimuli
Inflammation of the membranous sac surrounding the heart
High BP that doesn't have one distinct cause
Carditis resulting from an inadequately treated childhood strept throat
tortuous, dilated vein with incompetent valves
An elevated SBP 140 or more, DBP below 90
severe, rapidly progressive elevation in blood pressure. (DBP >120)
Inflammation of the myocardium may originate from rheumatic heart disease
Blood clots in the arterial bloodstream
When pericardial effusion restricts heart movement
caused by chronic venous insufficiency and delayed healing
An occlusive vascular condition in which the small and medium sized arteries become inflamed and thrombotic
A group of heart muscle diseases that primarily affect the structural or functional ability of the myocardium
Accumulation of extravascular fluid in lung tissues and alveoli, most often caused by HF
narrowing of the aorta
A circulatory condition in which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs
The ventricular walls are rigid, thus limiting the ventricles' ability to expand, resulting in impaired diastolic filling
An infection or inflammation of the inner membranous lining of the heart, particularly the heart valves
Increased size and mass of the heart because of increased muscle thickness and decreased ventricular size
