Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is an anomaly where an artery in the abdominal region bulges abnormally. This occurs due to the weakening of the aortic wall, commonly attributed to age-related factors like hypertension, atherosclerosis, or injury.
Angina pectoris manifests as chest discomfort due to insufficient oxygenated blood flow to the heart, often occurring during physical exertion like exercise or strenuous labor.
An irregular heartbeat, known as a heart arrhythmia, arises when the heart's electrical signals governing its rhythm malfunction. This can lead to the heart beating either too quickly or too slowly, or the rhythm becoming erratic.
Cardiomyopathy, a form of heart disease, disrupts the heart's ability to effectively pump blood to meet the body's demands, posing serious complications and potentially fatal consequences if untreated.
Atherosclerosis is a condition characterised by the thickening, stiffening, and clogging of artery walls with fatty substances, notably cholesterol. This impedes blood flow through the vessels, posing significant risks like stroke or heart attack.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) arises due to the accumulation of fatty plaque within the heart's blood vessels, hindering the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. This obstruction can result in chest pain, heart attacks, irregular heartbeats, and possibly sudden death if left untreated.
Heart failure poses a grave threat to millions of individuals in India each year, as it arises when the heart fails to sufficiently pump blood and oxygen throughout the body, manifesting in symptoms like breathlessness, fatigue, and hindered daily activities.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition where the force of blood against artery walls is consistently elevated, often without symptoms. It can lead to serious health issues like heart disease and stroke if not managed properly.
A myocardial infarction (MI), often referred to as a heart attack, occurs when the blood flow to the heart is obstructed or diminished, leading to tissue death and significant cardiac damage.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a prevalent cardiovascular ailment which arises from the narrowing of arteries, diminishing the flow of oxygen-rich blood to leg muscles, leading to symptoms like pain and fatigue.
