Diseases of the heart and blood vessels (cardiology)

Aneurysm of the ascending aorta

Pathologies of the thoracic aorta are quite common, and more than half of the cases involve such a disorder as an aneurysm of the ascending aorta. The disease threatens serious complications that develop in the natural course of pathologic dilatations, and is associated with high lethality, complex approaches to treatment.

Left ventricular aneurysm

Aneurysm of the left ventricle of the heart (ventriculus sinister cordis), from which the great circle of blood circulation begins, is a blood-filled localized fibrous bulge arising in the area of the weakened wall of this heart structure.

Congenital aneurysm

A pathologic weakening and subsequent localized bulging of the wall of an arterial vessel, ventricle of the heart, or interatrial septum that occurs due to a congenital defect or genetic disease is diagnosed as a congenital aneurysm.

Aneurysm of the atrial septum

An atrial septal aneurysm (septum interatriale) is defined as an abnormal saccular bulge of the fibro-muscular wall that separates the upper chambers of the heart - the left and right atria.

Pulmonary aneurysm

Aneurysm of the arteries of the pulmonary vasculature or pulmonary aneurysm is a focal dilatation (focal dilation) of the vessel wall with the formation of a bulge beyond its normal diameter.

Serous pericarditis

Inflammation of the fibrous sac surrounding the heart (pericardium), in which the predominant sign is the formation and accumulation of serous exudate (effusion) - serous fluid in it, is diagnosed as serous pericarditis.

Rheumatic pericarditis

The key causes of rheumatic pericarditis are related to chronic rheumatic diseases of a systemic nature: inflammatory damage to the heart muscles and valves

Arterial aneurysm

Aneurysm of the cerebral vessels

Aneurysm is a localized dilation of the arterial lumen caused by pathological change or damage to the vascular wall. Aneurysm of cerebral vessels can cause the development of subarachnoid hemorrhage of nontraumatic etiology, which occurs in more than 80% of all intracranial hemorrhages.

Acute aneurysm in myocardial infarction

About acute aneurysm is said if the development of pathology occurred during the first 14 days from the moment of myocardial infarction.
