Diseases of the heart and blood vessels (cardiology)

Complete heart block

Among all types of dysfunction of the heart's conducting system, which ensures the rhythmicity of the heartbeat and controls coronary blood flow, the most serious is complete heart block - with complete cessation of the passage of electrical impulses between the atria and ventricles.

Small-focal myocardial infarction

Small-focal myocardial infarction is a morphologic variant of damage to the muscle tissue of the heart that involves the subendocardial zone, the layer in the endocardium that connects it to the myocardium, and represents a subendocardial infarction.

Hypokinesia

Hypokinesia is a condition of the body manifested by an abnormal decrease in activity and amplitude of movements (from Greek hypo - from below and kinesis - movement)

Subaortic stenosis

With hypertrophy and other myocardial defects in the zone of the interventricular septum, there is a violation of blood transportation to the aorta.

Arterial insufficiency

Among diseases of the circulatory system and pathological conditions of blood vessels (angiopathies), the first place is occupied by arterial insufficiency, in which the blood flow through the arteries slows down or stops.

Atherosclerosis of the thoracic aorta

Thickening or hardening of the inner walls of the thoracic portion of the aorta (pars thoracica aortae) running in the posterior mediastinum, caused by cholesterol deposits, is diagnosed as thoracic aortic atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis of extracranial branches of brachiocephalic arteries

Since atherosclerosis is a systemic disease, it can affect large arterial vessels of various localizations, and atherosclerosis of extracranial parts of brachiocephalic arteries is defined when pathological processes are subjected to extracranial (located outside the skull) parts of the arteries that carry blood to the shoulders, neck and head (brain).

Stenosing atherosclerosis

When due to atherosclerotic lesions of arterial vessels there is a narrowing of their lumen with reduced blood flow, stenotic atherosclerosis (from Greek stenos - narrow) is diagnosed.

Atherosclerosis of the heart vessels

Atherosclerosis can affect arteries of various localizations, and coronary atherosclerosis - atherosclerosis of the vessels of the heart that supply oxygen to the cells of the heart muscle (myocardium)

Non-stenotic atherosclerosis

Elevated cholesterol is the underlying cause of non-stenotic atherosclerosis. The buildup of lipids and calcium on the inner wall of the arteries provokes a persistent disorder of blood flow.
