This condition occurs when the heart doesn't pump at full capacity and blood "backs up" into the heart...

• COPD
• Myocardial Infarction
• Congestive Heart Failure
• Ateriosclerosis 

The hardening of the arteries refers to this term:

• Atherosclerosis
• COPD
• Ateriorsclerosis
• Aneursym 

The term "phleb" refers to:

Fast heart beat.

• tachypnea
• arrhythmia

• peripheral artery disease
• coronary artery disease

Condition of thickening, hardening, and loss of elasticity in the arterial walls.

• atherosclerosis

• varicose veins

• thrombophlebitis

• arteriosclerosis

Inflammation of a vein caused by the formation of a clot.

• phlebitis
• emobolus
• thrombus
• thrombophlebitis

Condition characterized by severe, constricting pain or pressure in the chest.

• angina
• fibrillation
• flutter
• mitral valve prolapse

Disease in which narrowing of the arteries results in decreased blood flow to the extremities, causing intermittent calf pain, called claudication, during walking.

• coronary artery disease (CAD)
• shock
• embolus
• peripheral artery disease (PAD)
