Heart, blood vessels and cholesterol

Chronic venous insufficiency is one of the diseases of civilization. This is a modern epidemic. It has a multifactorial basis and is negatively supported by today's lifestyle.

Post-thrombotic syndrome arises as a complication of venous thrombosis. This is a condition that can significantly affect the quality of life of the affected person.

Superficial thrombophlebitis is an inflammatory disease of the superficial veins. It mainly involves the veins of the lower extremities.

Thromboembolic disease poses a risk of developing serious complications that threaten a person's life.

Deep vein thrombosis is a relatively common disease, the difficulties of which can be mild and insignificant. However, the other side of the problem is the risk of developing pulmonary embolism and thromboembolic disease.

Pulmonary hypertension is a disease that limits the person's overall performance, quality of life and life expectancy. The cause may not always be clear or there might be another disease behind it.

Pulmonary heart disease is the enlargement of the heart as a result of a lung disease. There is an acute and a chronic form.

Congenital heart defects arise even during intrauterine development. The defective development affects the heart and blood vessels. It manifests itself immediately after birth, but in some cases later in childhood or in adulthood.

Heart valve disease, or valvular heart disease, is a possible source of health problems such as fatigue, dizziness, fainting, palpitations, chest pain or shortness of breath. Heart valve failure can lead to heart failure.

Hypertensive crisis is a life-threatening condition characterized by a sudden and sharp increase in blood pressure. It is accompanied by the risk of damage and failure of vital organs.

Cardiomyopathy refers to a group of diseases that affect the heart muscle, the myocardium. We know several forms, they have different symptoms and also different treatments.

Heart attack or heart failure can go into cardiogenic shock. Especially when neglecting early treatment is neglected. However, there are other reasons for its emergence.

Heart failure: a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood to the body and supply organs or tissues with oxygen and nutrients.

Hypertension, as high blood pressure is professionally referred to, is the most common disease of the cardiovascular system. It affects up to 25% of the world's adult population. It is a significant risk factor for the development of acute or chronic problems.

Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arteries. The wall of the artery is affected by a disease process. It takes place over a long period of time and is progressive due to negative conditions.

An aneurysm, also known as vascular edema, is a serious vascular disease. It affects the arteries and aortas. It is divided into right, dissecting, and false. A person can live with an unrecognized aneurysm for many years, however, its rupture immediately threatens a person's life.

Angina pectoris, or angina pectoris, is one form of ischemic heart disease. It arises as a result of a mismatch between the need and the supply of blood, and therefore also oxygen and nutrients, to the heart. It typically occurs with increased physical or mental stress. Attacks of angina pectoris recur and are manifested by pressure or animal pain in the chest.

Myocardial infarction or even heart muscle infarction is an acute form of ischemic heart disease. Ischemia, or bloodlessness, is caused by a blockage in the coronary artery that leads blood to the heart muscle cells. The main cause is a sudden closure or long-term narrowing of the blood vessel.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is an acute condition in which blood vessels in the lungs become clogged. The most common cause is thromboembolic disease. A blood clot is released and travels through the vessels as an embolus. It clogs vessels. The massive form of PE is life-threatening.

Varicose veins are the most common disease in developed countries. They are classified as diseases of civilization. They are estimated to affect 10-40% of the world's population. Their incidence also depends on age, with women more frequent.
