information about cardio vascular disease

CVD Types There are numerous varieties of CVD. This page describes four of the primary categories.

This causes the heart to work harder and may result in: – Angina is a type of chest pain where the heart muscle isn't getting enough blood. – cardiac attacks, in which the heart muscle's blood supply is abruptly cut off – cardiac failure, in which the heart is unable to adequately pump blood throughout the body

TIAs and strokes When a portion of the brain's blood flow is interrupted, it can result in a stroke, which can harm the brain and even be fatal. Similar in nature is the transient ischemic attack (TIA, commonly dubbed a "mini-stroke"), in which the brain's blood supply is momentarily interrupted.

Diseases of the peripheral arteries When there is a blockage in the arteries leading to the limbs, mainly the legs, it is known as peripheral arterial disease.

This may result in: leg discomfort that is dull or cramping, worse when you walk and better when you rest; – hair loss on the legs and feet – leg numbness or paralysis – leg ulcers (open sores) that don't go away

Aortic conditions Aortic illnesses are a class of disorders pertaining to the aorta. The blood that travels from the heart to the rest of the body passes through this, the biggest blood vessel in the body. Aortic aneurysms, in which the aorta weakens and protrudes outward, are among the most prevalent aortic disorders.
