(DISORDERS OF BLOOD VESSELS)

Cholesterol buildup called plaque inside the wall of the arteries which causes arteries to harden and lose their elasticity and degenerate.

• Stroke

• Leukemia

• Atherosclerosis

• Hemophilia

(DISEASES OF THE HEART)

Inability of the blood to reach to the coronary arteries of the heart

• Coronary Heart Disease

• Hypertensive Heart Disease

• Rheumatic Heart Disease

(CORONARY HEART DISEASE)

An area of damaged cardiac tissue due to inadequate blood flow

• Angina Pectoris

• Myocardial Infarction

• Infarct

• Endocardities

(CORONARY HEART DISEASE)

(CORONARY HEART DISEASE)

Heart Attack associated with damage to a large part of the heart

(DISEASES OF THE HEART)

Hypertension or elevated blood pressure results form the tightening of the arterioles, the smallest arteries.

It increases the resistance of blood flow.

• Hypertensive Heart Disease

• Coronary Heart Disease

(RHEUMATIC HEART DISEASE)

Untreated bacterial infection that triggers an immune reaction and causes damage to the heart

• Endocarditis

• Streptococcus Pyogenes
