plaque building up and prevents blood flow
Atherosclerosis
plaque build up in arteries
angina
chest pain
CAD can cause
arrhythmia
cardiopathy
describes all diseases of the heart muscle
dialated cardiomyopathy
ventricle is enlarged and stiff, causes decreased ejection of blood from the heart
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
A condition in which the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
This is the condition of an irregular heart rhythm or heartbeat. This condition is usually inherited and is more common in males than in females.
restrictive cardiomyopathy
heart muscle hardens, restricting the expansion of the heart, thus limiting the amount of blood it can pump to the rest of the body
myocardial infarction

Arrythmia
Abnormal heart rhythm
CAD risk factors

thrombotic stroke
type of stroke caused by a blood clot blocking an artery in the brain
embolic stroke
a type of ischemic stroke that causes a clot to travel to the brain, mostly from the left side of the heart
hemorrhagic stroke
occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures; also known as a bleed
intracerebral hemorrhage
bleeding into the brain as a result of a ruptured blood vessel within the brain
subarachnoid hemorrhage

diabetes
A condition in which the body is unable to produce enough insulin, the hormone required for the metabolism of sugar
a normal functioning of breaking down fats
your body breaks down food and it turns to lipids and proteins. Carbs are broken down into Glucose (blood sugar) and transported through the body. the pancreas produces Insulin that helps Glucose travel.
what Diabetics need
Insulin
type 1 diabetes
Diabetes of a form that usually develops during childhood or adolescence and is characterized by a severe deficiency of insulin, leading to high blood glucose levels.
type 2 diabetes
Diabetes of a form that develops especially in adults and most often obese individuals and that is characterized by high blood glucose resulting from impaired insulin utilization coupled with the body's inability to compensate with increased insulin produ
