cardiac arrest. very quick.

Back 17

acute cardiac failure

Front 18

Heart is pumping inadequately to meet the needs of the body.

Back 18

chronic cardiac failure

Front 19

When an area of the myocardium is deprived of blood due to occlusion of the coronary artery, that tissue dies and the dead muscle is called an infarct.

Back 19

Myocardial infarction

Front 20

Long standing high blood pressure, heart is overworked.

Back 20

Hypertensive heart disease

Front 21

Disease of the myocardium due to primary disease of heart muscle.

Back 35

Chemical agents

Front 36

May occur when the surface of the lining of the heart is damaged due to blood clots that traumatize the tissues

Back 36

endocarditis

Front 37

Begins with excess fluid accumulation that disturbs the electrolyte and protein balance in the pericardial sac

Back 37

cardiac tamponade

Front 38

an abnormal enlargement or bulging of an artery caused by damage to or weakness in the blood vessel wall.

Back 38
