DISORDERS OF CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

➠ High Blood Pressure (Hypertension):-

  • Hypertension is the term for blood pressure that is higher than normal (120/80).
  • In this measurement 120 mm Hg (millimetres of mercury pressure) is the systolic, or pumping, pressure and 80 mm Hg is the diastolic, or resting, pressure.
  • If repeated checks of blood pressure of an individual is 140/90 (140 over 90) or higher, it shows hypertension.
  • High blood pressure leads to heart diseases and also affects vital organs like brain and kidney.

➠ Coronary Artery Disease (CAD):

  • Coronary Artery Disease, often referred to as atherosclerosis, affects the vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle.
  • It is caused by deposits of calcium, fat, cholesterol and fibrous tissues, which makes the lumen of arteries narrower.

➠ Angina:

  • It is also called ‘angina pectoris’.
  • A symptom of acute chest pain appears when no enough oxygen is reaching the heart muscle.
  • Angina can occur in men and women of any age but it is more common among the middle-aged and elderly.
  • It occurs due to conditions that affect the blood flow.

➠ Heart Failure:

  • Heart failure means the state of heart when it is not pumping blood effectively enough to meet the needs of the body.
  • It is sometimes called congestive heart failure because congestion of the lungs is one of the main symptoms of this disease.
  • Heart failure is not the same as cardiac arrest (when the heart stops beating) or a heart attack (when the heart muscle is suddenly damaged by an inadequate blood supply).
