Question 2

Question 3

Amyloidosis

Answer 3

a group of diseases in which abnormal protein, known as amyloid fibrils, builds up in tissue.

Symptoms depend on the type and are often variable. They may include diarrhea, weight loss, feeling tired, enlargement of the tongue, bleeding, numbness, feeling faint with standing, swelling of the legs, or enlargement of the spleen.

Question 4

Aortic regurgitation (AR)

Answer 4

Aortic regurgitation (AR) is the diastolic flow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle (LV). Regurgitation is due to incompetence of the aortic valve or any disturbance of the valvular apparatus (eg, leaflets, annulus of the aorta) resulting in the diastolic flow of blood into the left ventricular chamber.

Question 5

Aortic stenosis (AS or AoS)

Answer 5

is the narrowing of the exit of the left ventricle of the heart (where the aorta begins), such that problems result.[1]

It typically gets worse over time. Symptoms often come on gradually with a decreased ability to exercise often occurring first.

If heart failure, loss of consciousness, or heart related chest pain occurs due to AS the outcomes are worse. Loss of consciousness typically occurs with standing or exercise.

Signs of heart failure include shortness of breath especially when lying down, at night, or with exercise, and swelling of the legs. Thickening of the valve without narrowing is known as aortic sclerosis.

Atrophie blanche

Answer 6

is a descriptive term for ivory-colored stellate scars on the legs. The name is sometimes applied to a condition also known as livedoid vasculitis, livedoid vasculopathy, or livedo reticularis with summer ulceration

Patients who present with atrophie blanche may have serious vascular inflammation.
