Diseases of the Circulatory Systems

• Atherosclerosis/Arteriosclerosis - makes the arteries hard caused by high consumption of a fatty diet that leaves fat deposits on the lining of the blood vessels. These fat deposits make the arteries rigid.
• Heart Attack - is caused when the heart is blocked from blood supply due to a blood clot.
• Myocardial ischemia - the buildup of fat deposits congests the blood flow to the heart.
• High cholesterol - cholesterol-rich food excessive consumption may lead to hypertension.
• Heart Failure - the unstable behavior of the heart cannot pump sufficient blood for the body’s needs.
• Stroke - can happen if a vessel that supplies blood to the brain either becomes blocked by a blood clot or bursts. These stop blood flow and prevent oxygen from getting to the brain.
• High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) - the elevation of blood pressure in the vessels gets too high that it can trigger other diseases.
• Anemia - the insufficient supply of red blood cells in the blood can make you feel easily tired.
