Diseases of the heart and blood vessels (cardiology)

This category covers diseases of the heart and blood vessels with symptoms, causes, diagnostics, treatment options, and prevention basics.

Hyperchylomicronemia: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Risk of Pancreatitis

Hyperchylomicronemia is a condition in which too many chylomicrons, large lipoprotein particles that carry dietary triglycerides from the intestines to the tissues, remain in the fasting blood.

Heart and Anemia: Symptoms, Risks, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Anemia reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen because there is less hemoglobin, or normal red blood cells, in the blood.

Primary dyslipidemia: inherited disorders of lipid metabolism, diagnosis and treatment

Primary dyslipidemia is a disorder of lipid metabolism, which is based on a hereditary or predominantly genetically determined feature of lipoprotein function.

Dyslipidemia risk 4: very high cardiovascular risk, treatment goals, and current medications

Dyslipidemia risk 4 is not a separate, independent disease, but a clinical formulation that usually means a lipid metabolism disorder in a person with a very high cardiovascular risk.

Dyslipidemia risk 3: What does high cardiovascular risk mean and how to reduce it?

The term "dyslipidemia risk 3" is not a separate diagnosis in international disease classifications. In Russian-language clinical practice, "risk 3" typically refers to dyslipidemia in individuals with high cardiovascular risk, meaning a significant likelihood of myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral artery disease, or other atherosclerotic complications in the coming years.

Dyslipidemia risk 2: What does moderate cardiovascular risk mean and how to treat it?

Dyslipidemia risk 2 is not a separate disease or an independent diagnostic code, but a clinical formulation that usually signifies a lipid metabolism disorder in a person with moderate cardiovascular risk.

Blood pressure and anemia: why you feel dizzy, your pulse quickens, and when it's dangerous

Anemia is a condition in which the red blood cell count or hemoglobin concentration in the blood is reduced, resulting in less oxygen reaching the tissues. Blood pressure in anemia can be normal, low, or high, so a single number on a blood pressure monitor cannot determine whether anemia is present.

Dyslipidemia Risk 1: What Low Cardiovascular Risk Means and How to Manage It

The phrase "dyslipidemia risk 1" is commonly used in Russian-language practice as a simplified designation for dyslipidemia in a person with low overall cardiovascular risk.

Mixed Dyslipidemia: Causes, Diagnosis, Risks, and Current Treatment

Mixed dyslipidemia is a lipid metabolism disorder in which atherogenic cholesterol-containing particles and triglycerides are simultaneously elevated.

Consequences of dyslipidemia: the dangers of cholesterol and triglyceride imbalances

Dyslipidemia is a disorder of the composition of fat particles in the blood: most often, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol increases, triglycerides increase, the number of atherogenic particles with apolipoprotein B increases, sometimes lipoprotein(a) increases, and the protective profile of high-density lipoproteins becomes unfavorable.
