Cardiovascular disease is an abnormal function of the heart or blood vessels that is caused by a buildup of fatty plaques in the arteries over time. This restricts blood flow and increases the risk of heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and other cardiac issues. Treatments include lifestyle changes, medication, or procedures like surgery to reopen blocked arteries using a catheter and balloon. Preventing cardiovascular disease involves quitting smoking, regular exercise, a healthy diet, stress management, sufficient sleep, and regular health screenings.

Heart attack
This document provides information about heart attacks, including:
- What causes a heart attack - plaque buildup in arteries restricting blood flow and a plaque rupture causing a blood clot blockage.
- Warning signs of a heart attack like chest pain or discomfort.
- The importance of not delaying and calling emergency services within 5 minutes of symptoms starting.
- Misconceptions about what a heart attack feels like and that symptoms can be mild.
- Risk factors for heart attacks including age, family history, smoking, diabetes, cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
Heart Attack
A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to part of the heart is blocked, damaging the heart muscle. It is typically caused by coronary heart disease, which is related to risk factors like smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and physical inactivity. Symptoms of a heart attack include chest pain or discomfort. Diagnosis involves electrocardiograms, blood tests for cardiac enzymes, echocardiograms, and sometimes cardiac catheterization. Prevention focuses on not smoking, regular exercise, a healthy diet, weight control, and managing conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol.
Coronary insufficiency
This document discusses coronary insufficiency and coronary artery disease. It describes acute coronary syndrome, which occurs when there is sudden reduced blood flow to the heart, and chronic coronary syndrome, characterized by atherosclerotic plaque buildup. Acute coronary syndrome includes unstable angina, NSTEMI, and STEMI heart attacks. Risk factors include age, high blood pressure, smoking, lack of exercise, and family history. Diagnosis involves ECGs, blood tests, and imaging. Treatment includes medications like nitroglycerin and lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, exercise, and not smoking.

Heart attack
A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, preventing the heart from receiving oxygen. This is usually due to a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries over many years. Eventually, plaque can rupture inside an artery and cause a blood clot that blocks blood flow. If the blockage is not quickly treated, the portion of heart muscle begins to die. Risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and family history. Diagnostic tests include ECGs, blood tests, and coronary angiography. Treatment focuses on restoring blood flow through clot-busting drugs or angioplasty to open the blocked artery.

This document provides an overview of cardiac diseases. It begins with definitions of cardiac disease as disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels. Common causes are deposits of fat in the arteries supplying the heart. Risk factors include smoking, poor diet, high blood pressure, obesity and lack of exercise. Prevention focuses on healthy lifestyle habits like a balanced diet, exercise, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, medications, and procedures like angioplasty and bypass surgery. The document concludes by describing several common cardiac diseases such as congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease and heart attack.
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK
Heart Diseases in Men and Women are the number 1 cause of death in United States. 1 out of 4 deaths in U.S are caused by Heart Diseases. But this can be controlled or avoided if proper medical attention were given at the right time. In some cases, various symptoms are seen prior to serious heart issues, which could be treated or controlled by getting medical attention from a doctor.
Ischaemic heart disease an overview to heart disease
1) The document discusses ischaemic heart disease, which occurs when cholesterol plaques build up in the coronary arteries, reducing blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart.
2) It provides an overview of epidemiology studies on ischaemic heart disease mortality rates around the world. Rates are highest among men ages 35-44 in the US but decline with age and are lower for women. Environmental factors seem to influence rates more than genetics.
3) The document summarizes some key risk factors for developing ischaemic heart disease like smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, and genetic factors. Males and post-menopausal females are also at higher risk.
Coronary heart disease
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is caused by plaque buildup in the coronary arteries which narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow. Over time, plaque can rupture and form blood clots, completely blocking an artery and leading to a heart attack. Risk factors for CHD include smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and lack of exercise. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes and medication to manage symptoms and prevent complications like heart attacks. Prevention strategies emphasize a healthy diet, exercise, not smoking, controlling cholesterol and blood pressure levels.

CORONARY HEART DISEASE
Arteriosclerosis is a disease of thickened and calcified arteries resulting in decreased blood flow, particularly to the brain and legs. It is often caused by aging, hypertension, diabetes and develops into coronary heart disease. The major controllable risk factors are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, diabetes and stress. The biggest risks are hypertension, high cholesterol, and smoking which together increase risk eight times. Symptoms of coronary heart disease include chest pain and shortness of breath. Treatments include lifestyle changes, medication, and surgery such as angioplasty, stents, or bypass surgery.
Myocardial infarction
Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow stops to part of the heart muscles, usually caused by a blood clot, damaging the heart muscle. It is caused by conditions like smoking, a high-fat diet, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, being overweight or obese that increase the risk. Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, and anxiety. Treatment depends on severity but generally includes medications to dissolve blood clots or surgery to restore blood flow to the heart.
Heart related disorders
The document provides information about heart disorders. It defines the heart and its functions. Several types of heart disorders are described, including coronary artery disease, hypertension, restrictive cardiomyopathy, alcoholic heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, heart valve disease, and heart muscle disease.

Risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to conditions that affect the heart or blood vessels. The main causes of CVD include high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, physical inactivity, being overweight or obese, and having a family history of CVD. CVD can often be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, not smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and taking any medications as prescribed. The most common types of CVD are coronary heart disease, strokes, peripheral arterial disease, and aortic disease.
Stress with Heart Attack
This document discusses the relationship between stress and heart attacks. It defines what a heart attack is and identifies common sources of stress like work, relationships, and life changes. Chronic stress exposes the body to high levels of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which can damage heart health over time by increasing inflammation and blood pressure. Managing stress through exercise, diet, sleep, and relaxation techniques can help lower the risk of a heart attack. The document also outlines the symptoms of a heart attack and treatments like medications and lifestyle modifications.
Heart Attack.
The document summarizes information about the cardiovascular system and heart attacks. It defines a heart attack as a sudden blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle. It notes that heart attacks are diagnosed through risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, and family history as well as blood tests. Treatment options for heart attacks include medication, interventions like bypass surgery. Maintaining a diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in carbohydrates can help cardiovascular health. Yoga asanas and pranayama can also boost circulation and reduce inflammation. Meditation and relaxing the mind can aid in reducing stress.
Everything You Need to Know About Hypertension
All you need to know about hypertension and associated health risk, responsible factors, hypertension types, and tips to prevent it.
Cardiovascular disease
Hypertension, congestive heart failure, and ischemic disease are cardiovascular conditions discussed in the document. Hypertension is high blood pressure and can be primary or secondary. Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood due to issues like hypertension, heart damage, or blockages. Ischemic disease includes angina, heart attack, atherosclerosis, and arteriosclerosis which are caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
Coronary Heart Disease
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a disease in
which a waxy substance called plaque (plak) builds up inside the coronary
arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle.
When plaque builds up in the arteries, the
condition is called atherosclerosis
(ATH-er-o-skler-O-sis). The buildup of plaque occurs over many years. Over time, plaque can harden or rupture
(break open). Hardened plaque narrows the coronary arteries and reduces the
flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart. If
the plaque ruptures, a blood clot can form on its surface. A large blood clot
can mostly or completely block blood flow through a coronary artery. Over time,
ruptured plaque also hardens and narrows the coronary arteries. If the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your
heart muscle is reduced or blocked, angina
(an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) or a heart attack
can occur.
Angina is chest pain or discomfort. It may
feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest. The pain also can occur in your
shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. Angina pain may even feel like
indigestion.
A heart attack occurs if the flow of
oxygen-rich blood to a section of heart muscle is cut off. If blood flow isn’t
restored quickly, the section of heart muscle begins to die. Without quick
treatment, a heart attack can lead to serious health problems or death.
cardiac diseases
This document summarizes several common cardiac diseases seen in humans. It discusses that heart disease is caused by factors like age, gender, obesity, high cholesterol, and diabetes. The most common type is coronary artery disease, which includes conditions like atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Symptoms include chest pain and shortness of breath. Lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, exercise, and not smoking can help control conditions and reduce risk of further heart issues.
Ischemic Heart Disease
This document discusses ischemic heart disease and coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease is caused by atherosclerosis which develops due to risk factors like smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Clinical presentations include stable angina, unstable angina, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, and ST elevation myocardial infarction. Treatment involves lifestyle modifications, medications like antiplatelets, anticoagulants, and statins, as well as procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting.
Rheumatic fever and heart disease
Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory disease that affects the heart, joints, skin, and brain. It occurs as a result of a prior streptococcal throat infection. The body mounts an immune response against the bacteria that cross-reacts with human tissues, causing damage. Common manifestations include painful migratory arthritis, inflammation of the heart valves, and involuntary movements known as Sydenham's chorea. Rheumatic fever predominantly affects children in developing countries and can lead to the chronic rheumatic heart disease if heart valves are damaged. Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria and evidence of a preceding streptococcal infection.

Heart Disease
Heart disease is the number one cause of death worldwide. It is caused by a buildup of fatty deposits called plaque in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. This buildup is known as atherosclerosis and can lead to coronary artery disease. Risk factors include age, family history, high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and physical inactivity. To prevent heart disease, one should eat a healthy diet low in fat and cholesterol, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, not smoke, control blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and see a doctor to monitor risk factors. Making lifestyle changes can significantly reduce risk and help live a longer, healthier life.
Congenital Heart Disease
Congenital heart disease (CHD) occurs in 1 in 125 live births and is the most common birth defect. The majority of cases have no known cause and are thought to be due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Common types of CHD include atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, coarctation of the aorta, and tetralogy of Fallot. Treatment options include medical management, interventional procedures such as catheterization, and surgical repair. Without treatment, CHD can lead to heart failure, lung problems, and other issues.

This presentation provides an overview of heart failure, including:
1. It defines heart failure as when the heart is unable to pump sufficiently to meet the body's needs, which can result from systolic or diastolic dysfunction.
2. Some key statistics on the incidence and prevalence of heart failure worldwide and in India are presented.
3. Heart failure is classified in different ways such as whether it affects the left or right side of the heart, and whether it involves forward or backward failure.
4. The etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic assessment, medical management including medications, and surgical options for treatment are discussed at a high level.

Myocardial Infarction
Myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, results from prolonged lack of oxygen supply to heart muscle, causing cell death. It is usually caused by a blockage of a coronary artery from an atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Symptoms include chest pain and shortness of breath. Diagnosis involves evaluating symptoms, electrocardiogram changes, and cardiac enzyme levels. Treatment focuses on restoring blood flow, reducing workload and complications through medications like antiplatelets, anticoagulants, beta blockers, and ACE inhibitors.
Heart disease and its risk factors
Heart disease refers to conditions that affect the heart and impair its function. The main types of heart disease are coronary artery disease, angina, heart attack, heart failure, and arrhythmia. Risk factors for heart disease include smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, being overweight, physical inactivity, and an unhealthy diet. Lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, eating healthy, exercising regularly, losing excess weight, and reducing stress can help reduce the risk of heart disease.

Cardio vascular diseases
This document discusses cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which are the leading cause of death worldwide according to the WHO. Some key points:
- CVDs claim over 17 million lives each year, with 85% from heart attacks and strokes. The WHO estimates over 23 million annual deaths by 2030.
- Risk factors for CVDs include tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
- Symptoms can include chest pain or pressure, pain in the arms or shoulders, shortness of breath, nausea and fatigue.
- CVD deaths have declined due to better diagnosis, treatment and public health measures like lifestyle changes and preventative drugs. Population-wide strategies

This document provides information on various cardiovascular diseases and disorders. It discusses myocarditis, describing its causes as bacterial or viral infections. Signs include nonspecific symptoms like fatigue and fever. Diagnosis involves medical history, blood tests, ECG and imaging. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preventing damage. It also covers essential hypertension, describing its idiopathic cause and risk factors like age, family history and lifestyle. Signs are often asymptomatic until damage occurs. Diagnosis is based on repeated high blood pressure readings and treatment includes lifestyle changes and medications. Iron deficiency anemia is also discussed, with causes like blood loss, poor diet and malabsorption. Signs include pallor and fatigue and diagnosis uses blood tests to detect low
Ischemic Heart Disease lecture.pptx
Ischemic heart disease, also known as coronary artery disease, is caused by a reduced blood supply to the heart muscle due to atherosclerosis or plaque buildup in the coronary arteries. The main symptoms include chest pain or angina on exertion. Diagnosis involves electrocardiograms, blood tests, and cardiac stress tests. Treatment focuses on controlling risk factors like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking through medications, lifestyle changes and procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery to restore blood flow. Complications can include heart damage, heart attack and arrhythmias if not properly managed.
Myocarditis & Cardiomyopathy.pptx
Heart muscle disease, is a type of progressive heart disease in which the heart is abnormally enlarged, thickened, and/or stiffened. As a result, the heart muscle's ability to pump blood is less efficient, often causing heart failure and the backup of blood into the lungs or rest of the body.
Communicable disease
Viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans, and rickettsias can cause communicable diseases which spread through direct contact, indirect contact, or airborne transmission. Preventing the spread involves cleaning hands, proper food handling, vaccination, avoiding contact with sick individuals, and taking care of one's health. Noncommunicable diseases include cardiovascular diseases like hypertension, atherosclerosis, and stroke. Cancer is caused by uncontrolled cell growth while risk factors include tobacco, ultraviolet light, and diet. Other noncommunicable diseases include allergies, asthma, diabetes, arthritis, and physical/mental disabilities which can be accommodated through accessibility features and equal opportunities.

The document calculates the average lifetime total heartbeats for a person based on average heart rate, lifespan, and conversions between heartbeats per minute/hour/day/year. It finds that the average lifetime total heartbeats is approximately 2.8 billion beats.
Acute coronary syndrom
Acute coronary syndrome result from a sudden blockage in a coronary artery. this blockage causes unstable angina or heart attack (MI), depending on the location and amount of blockage.
people who experience an ACS usually have chest pressure or ache, shortness of breath and fatigue.
People who think they are experiencing ACS should call for emergency help.
Doctors use ECG and blood test (troponin level) to determine whether a person is experiencing an ACS.
Treatment varies depending on the type of syndrome but usually include attempts to increase blood flow to affected area.
HTN Awareness Final.ppt
- Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as ischemic heart disease, is the most common type of heart disease and the leading global cause of death. It involves the narrowing of the coronary arteries due to buildup of cholesterol and fatty deposits.
- CAD risk factors include male gender, age, family history, race, smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, physical inactivity, overweight/obesity, stress, diet high in saturated fat/cholesterol, and alcohol intake.
- CAD is treated through lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, smoking cessation as well as medications, medical procedures like angioplasty, and sometimes surgery to relieve symptoms and reduce risk of cardiovascular events. Prevention through

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Cardiovascular disease [autosaved]
- 1. Cardiovascular Disease By: Oscar Martinez & Ronald Marquez 1
- 2. • Cardiovascular disease (or heart disease) is an abnormal function (disease) of the heart or blood vessels. What is it? 2
- 3. • Cardiovascular disease is caused when the arteries are blocked by a buildup of fatty plagues. • Over time, the arteries begin to thicken and stiffen, which causes blood flow to your organs to restrict. If this happens, it can cause an increase in risk for heart attack, heart failure, sudden death, stroke and cardiac rhythm problems, which can result in decreased quality of life and decreased life expectancy. Causes 3
- 4. • Treatments for cardiovascular disease include a lifestyle change, medication, or medical procedures. • A common procedure to treat cardiovascular disease is through surgery. • The surgery is performed by placing a catheter in an artery in your arm or groin and threading a small balloon to your blocked artery and inflating it to reopen the artery. Treatments 4
- 5. Some ways to prevent cardiovascular disease include: • quit smoking • exercising regularly to maintain your weight • eating healthy • schedule health screenings • managing stress • getting enough sleep Preventions 5
