Diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
Disease of the heart and blood vessels, including coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis.
Any disease which affects the circulatory system, e.g. hypertension.
A group of degenerative diseases characterized by a diminution of heart action. The oxygen and nutrient supply to the heart may be impeded because the coronary vessels are partially or fully occluded and/or the heart muscle degenerated or the vascular tree, which supplies the heart has degenerated. Frequently, cardiovascular disease is associated with elevated blood lipids as well as with elevated blood pressure (hypertension) and with diabetes mellitus. Management of these conditions can reduce the risk of a mortal event; however, people with diabetes have five times the risk of heart disease even when their diabetes is well managed. Cardiovascular disease has a strong genetic component.
Illness that affects the heart and blood vessels.
Any disease of the heart or blood vessels, including atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, and others.
A condition in which blood flow through the heart is impeded.
A disease or disorder that results from progressive damage to the heart and blood vessels.
Disease that affects the heart and the circulatory system (blood vessels). Examples of cardiovascular diseases include coronary heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, congenital heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, atherosclerosis, stroke, high blood pressure, and congestive heart failure.
A cardiac anomaly refers to a deviation in either the structure or function of the heart, or the blood vessels that provide nourishment to the heart. Such abnormalities disrupt the heart’s regular operation, hindering its ability to perform its vital functions.
