Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a dangerous ballooning of the aorta in the abdomen due to weakened arterial walls, often caused by atherosclerosis and increased risk from smoking.
Learn MoreAmaurosis Fugax
Amaurosis fugax is transient vision loss in one eye, often a warning sign of vascular issues like stroke, caused by temporary retinal artery blockage from clots or plaque.
Learn MoreAortoiliac Disease
Aortoiliac disease, a PAD form, narrows the aorta/iliac arteries via atherosclerosis, restricting blood flow to lower extremities, causing pain, tissue damage, and potentially limb loss, exacerbated by smoking, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
Learn MoreAtrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation, a common arrhythmia characterized by rapid, irregular heartbeats, increases risk of stroke and heart failure, often linked to age, hypertension, and heart disease.
Learn MoreCardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy encompasses diseases weakening the heart muscle, impairing its ability to pump blood efficiently, potentially leading to heart failure, arrhythmias, and other complications.
Learn MoreCarotid Artery Disease
Carotid artery disease, caused by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis) narrowing neck arteries, reduces brain blood flow and increases stroke risk, often due to hypertension, high cholesterol, and smoking.
Learn MoreCoronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) results from plaque buildup in coronary arteries (atherosclerosis), restricting blood flow and potentially causing angina, heart attack, or heart failure, influenced by factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol.
Learn MoreDeep Venous Thrombophlebitis
Deep venous thrombophlebitis (DVT) involves blood clot formation in deep veins, often in legs/pelvis, posing a pulmonary embolism risk due to disrupted blood flow.
Learn MoreHeart Failure Due to Coronary Artery Disease
Heart failure stemming from coronary artery disease arises from narrowed arteries restricting blood flow, weakening or stiffening the heart muscle and reducing its pumping efficiency.
Learn MorePeripheral Arterial Disease
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a common circulatory issue where narrowed arteries reduce limb blood flow, often causing leg pain and signifying increased heart attack/stroke risk, primarily due to atherosclerosis.
Learn MoreSupraventricular Tachycardia
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) is a rapid heart rhythm originating above the ventricles, often caused by re-entry circuits, leading to palpitations and dizziness, significantly impacting quality of life.
Learn MoreValvular Heart Disease
Valvular heart disease involves damaged heart valves causing blood flow issues via stenosis, regurgitation, or prolapse, potentially leading to heart failure, arrhythmias, and congenital or acquired origins.
Learn MoreVenous Ulcer Disease
Venous ulcer disease involves open sores on the lower legs due to poor blood circulation caused by venous insufficiency, often exacerbated by DVT, obesity, or inactivity.
Learn MoreVentricular Tachycardia (VFib)
Ventricular tachycardia, a rapid arrhythmia originating in the ventricles, can be life-threatening due to inadequate blood pumping, often linked to heart conditions or electrolyte imbalances.
