Cardiovascular diseases

Narrowing of arteries results in decreased blood flow in the lower extremities

• Coronary artery disease

• flutter

• atherosclerosis

• Peripheral Artery Disease

Condition in which the mitral valve doesn’t close properly; may cause blood leakage back into left atrium

• Mitral tamponade

• Mitral valve prolapse

• Cardiac tamponade

• Mitral Valve Congestion

Tissue death in the heart muscle resulting from an occluded coronary artery

• Angina

• Coronary Artery Disease

• Myocardial infarction

• Myocarditis

Results from reduced blood flow from the heart; causes weakness, breathlessness, abdominal discomfort, edema in lower extremities

• cyanosis

• hypotension

• congestive heart failure

• pericarditis

NGSS.HS-LS1-3

Extra, abnormal heartbeats that disrupt the regular ventricular rhythm of the heart

• Arrhythmia

• Premature ventricular contraction

• Tachycardia

• Bradycardia

Localized, balloon-like dilation of a blood vessel, usually an artery

• fibrillation

• cardiomyopathy

• Aneurysm

• flutter

Inflammation of the myocardium ( muscular layer of the heart)

• myocardial infarction

• pericarditis

• endocarditis

• myocarditis

Inflammation of a vein caused by the formation of a clot

• shock

• Phlebitis

• endocarditis

• Thrombophlebitis

Narrowing of the coronary arteries, resulting in an insufficient blood supply to the heart

• Peripheral artery disease

• Cardiac tamponade

• Coronary Artery Disease

• hyotension

 Inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart

• Cardiac tamponade

• endocarditis

• endomyocarditis

• pericarditis
