  1. Thrombosis – Blood clot formation inside the heart or blood vessels.​
  2. Cyanotic Heart Disease – Congenital (from birth) heart defects that result in low oxygen levels.
  3. Heart Failure – When the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.
  4. Hypertension – High blood pressure, a leading risk factor for heart disease.
  5. Aneurysm – A bulge in a blood vessel or heart wall due to weakness.
  6. Valve Prolapse – When a heart valve doesn’t close properly.
  7. Angiogram – An imaging test that uses dye and X-rays to view the heart's arteries.
  8. Syncope – Temporary loss of consciousness (“fainting”), often due to reduced blood flow to the brain.
  9. Cardiology – The study of the heart and its diseases.​
  10. Aorta – The largest artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
