Q

Theses are diseases of the sac that encases the heart (pericardium) pericardial disorders include inflammation (pericarditis), fluid accumulation (pericardial effusion) and stiffness (constrictive pericarditis).

A

Pericardial disease

20
Q

when can Pericarditis occur

A

after a heart attack and, as a result lead to pericardial effusion or chest pain

Congenital heart disease

22
Q

Diseases and conditions in congenital heart diseases

A

Coarctation (narrowing of a section of the aorta)
Atrial or ventricular septal defect (Holes in the heart).

Q

these blood vessels carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Lacking oxygen, they have a bluish cast on the skin

A

Veins

Q

are dedicate vessels that carry fluid back into the body’s central circulation

A

Lymphatics

29
Q

are conditions in which the walls of the arteries become thick and stiff. This can sometimes restrict blood flow to the organs and tissues.

Q

refers to hardening of the arteries caused by the accumulation of fatty deposits (plaque) and other substances
