Diseases of the heart and blood vessels (cardiology)

Hypertension in the elderly

Hypertension in the elderly is most often observed in the age group over 60; it develops in the early or later periods of life. Symptomatic arterial hypertension caused by atherosclerosis (sclerotic, predominantly systolic hypertension), kidney disease, or other causes may also occur.

Chylothorax

Chilothorax - accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the chest cavity. This is a serious and often life-threatening condition, often causing cardiac-pulmonary insufficiency. Metabolic, electrolyte and immunological disorders.

Klippel-Trenone syndrome

Defects in the development of deep veins of the extremities, or the Klippel-Trenone syndrome, are a serious congenital disease that progresses, causing functional and anatomical disorders that lead the patient to disability.

Diseases of the lymphatic system

Lymphoid syndrome refers to pathological conditions developing in the lymphoid formations of the body, which along with the venous is associated not only anatomically but also functionally (draining tissues, removing metabolic products, lymphopoiesis, protective function) due to the disease of the lymphatic system.

Disorders of lymph drainage

Disturbances of lymphatic drainage develop in cases of lymph node involvement (inflammation, scarring, metastases, tumors), blood vessels (inflammation, compression, trauma, malformations), ducts (usually a fracture in the form of a rupture) or due to functional disorders in diseases of other organs and systems (allergy , phlebogertonia, renal, hepatic and cardiac failure, etc.). Disturbance of lymph drainage can be acute (temporary) and chronic.

Hypovolemia

Hypovolemia (from French volume - an unambiguous notion defining tension and volume) is a decrease in the vascular tone that occurs with massive plasma and blood loss or a decrease in vascular tone due to disorders of neural-reflex regulation.

Hypertensive syndrome

Hypertensive syndrome in surgery is viewed from several positions. Arterial hypertension is important insofar as it can cause a number of vascular complications, both during the operation and after it: hemorrhages, ischemia, crises, etc.

Thromboembolism

Thromboembolism is affected by vessels of the brain, lungs, intestines, heart, limbs. This article deals only with arterial thromboembolism.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a complex of non-inflammatory cardiological diseases in which the heart muscle is affected. The term "cardiomyopathy" comes from three Greek words - kardia, which means the heart, myos - muscle and pathos - pathology, disease.

Diseases of veins

Phlebotic cider is a symptom complex that develops with the development of venous disease. Varicose expansion of venous vessels - all diseases of veins, characterized by an uneven increase in their lumen, distorted course of vessels with the development of nodules and protrusions of thin walls, their functional insufficiency and vicious blood flow.
