Question
Answer
show conditions that obstruct blood flow in the coronary arteries  
🗑
show Narrowed coronary arteries cause predictable chest pain or discomfort with exertion. The blockages prevent the heart from receiving the extra oxygen needed for strenuous activity. Symptoms typically get better with rest.  
🗑
Unstable Angina Pectoris   show
🗑
show elevated concentraions of any or all lipids in the plasma  
🗑
Arrhythmia (dysrhythmia)   show
🗑
Congestive heart failure(CHF)   show
🗑
show A disease of heart muscle in which the heart is abnormally enlarged, thickened, and/or stiffened. As a result, the heart's ability to pump blood is weakened  
🗑
Pericarditis   show
🗑
show Fluid between the lining of the heart (pericardium) and the heart itself. Often, this is due to pericarditis  
🗑
Atrial fibrillation   show
🗑
show There are four heart valves, and each can develop problems. If severe, valve disease can cause congestive heart failure.  
🗑
show An abnormal sound heard when listening to the heart with a stethoscope. Some heart murmurs are benign; others suggest heart disease.  
🗑
Endocarditis   show
🗑
Mitral valve prolapse   show
🗑
Sudden cardiac death   show
🗑
Cardiac arrest   show
🗑
show A tracing of the heart’s electrical activity. Electrocardiograms can help diagnose many heart conditions  
🗑
Echocardiogram   show
🗑
Exercise stress test   show
🗑
show A catheter is inserted into the femoral artery in the groin and threaded into the coronary arteries. A doctor can then view X-ray images of the coronary arteries or any blockages and perform stenting or other procedures  
🗑
show If a doctor suspects an arrhythmia, a portable heart monitor can be worn. Called a Holter monitor, it records the heart's rhythm continuously for a 24 hour period  
🗑
Event monitor   show
🗑
show Regular exercise is important for heart health and most heart conditions. Talk to your doctor before starting an exercise program if you have heart problems  
🗑
Angioplasty   show
🗑
show Angioplasty is sometimes called a PCI or PTCA (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty) by doctors.

🗑
Thrombolysis   show
🗑
Lipid-lowering agents   show
🗑
show Commonly called water pills, diuretics increase urination and fluid loss. This reduces blood volume, improving symptoms of heart failure  
🗑

🗑
ICD (Implantable cardioverter defibrillator)   show
