cardiovascular diseases

• Leukemia


  Cancer found in blood or bone marrow caused by overproduction of abnormal white blood cells
• Hemophilia C


  deficiency of clotting factor XI (11)
• Hemophilia B


  deficiency of clotting factor IX (9)
• Hemophilia A


  deficiency of clotting factor VIII (8)
• Hemophilia


  Characterized by lack or dysfunction of specific blood clotting proteins, leading to prolonged bleeding
• Pulmonary Embolism


  Blockage of lung artery by blood clot that develops elsewhere in the body (the blood clot travels to an artery in the lung)
• Infectious Mononucleosis (MONO)


  Disease caused by Epstein-Barr virus spreading through saliva, involving enlarged, atypical lymphocytes (white blood cells that fight disease and infection)
• Vitamin B12-deficiency Anemia


  Lack of healthy red blood cells due to lowered vitamin B12, leading to reduced oxygen-carrying capacity
• Iron-deficiency Anemia


  Develops when body's iron stores drop too low to support normal red blood cell production
• Sickle Cell Anemia

  Mutation in hemoglobin gene, causing red blood cells to become hard, sticky, and sickle-shaped
• Anemia


  Condition characterized by insufficient healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry oxygen to blood tissues
• Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy


  Disease causing abnormal thickening of heart chamber walls (left ventricle)
• Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack)


  Blockage of coronary artery leading to death of cardiac tissue
• Neurogenic Shock


  Condition caused by disruption to parasympathetic nervous system, often due to trauma or spinal injury
• Hemorrhagic Shock


  Reduction in tissue blood flow due to severe bleeding
• Anaphylactic Shock


  condition caused by allergic reactions
• Septic Shock


  low blood pressure, last stage of sepsis (condition when your immune system overreacts to an infection)
• Cardiogenic Shock


  Condition caused by inadequate or impaired cardiac pumping, reducing cardiac output (heart problems)
• Hypovolemic Shock


  characterized by rapid blood loss (hemorrhagic shock) and significant fluid loss from dehydration
• Hypertension


  Condition of high blood pressure against artery walls, often involving increased peripheral resistance
• Endothelial Dysfunction


  Damage to inner lining (endothelium) of blood vessels, causing them to become narrower
• Inflammation


  Body's response to injury or infection, causing redness, swelling, and pain
• Atherosclerosis


  Build-up of lipids and plaque in artery walls, obstructing blood flow (atherosclerotic lesions formed by local inflammation in the vascular wall induced by particularly high LDL cholesterol levels)
