Cardiovascular

Thickening or hardening of the arteries caused by build up of plaque

A fatty substance that builds up in you arteries over time

Positions heart and limits its motion while providing a lubricated slippery surface for heart to beat inside and lungs to move inside of

Acts as a mechanical protection for heart and as a lubricant to reduce friction between heart and surrounding structures

Lubricates heart with every beat so surfaces glide over each other

Gravity Skeletal muscle pump Smooth muscle Respiratory pump Valves

Sino atrial node Atrio ventricular node Bundle branches Purkinje fibres

Partial or complete blockage of cardiac vessels stop or impairs flow of blood, starves heart tissue of oxygen Symptoms - angina, weakness, nausea, shortness of breath

An occlusion of cardiac artery leading to inadequate blood supply to cardiac tissue Symptoms - angina, nausea, vomiting, sweating, dizziness

Chest pain or discomfort that keeps coming back, caused by narrowing of coronary arteries leading to reduced blood supply which leads to tissue perfusion Like a squeezing band around chest

Abnormal cardiac rhythm caused by conduction system

Type of arthymia. Atria fire at uncoordinated, rapid rate which decreases effectiveness of heart Symptoms - palpitations, irregular pulse, weakness, chest pain

Type of arthymia. Ventricles contract at uncoordinated, rapid rate decreasing effectiveness of heart

Failure of heart to delver oxygen to tissues. Ventricular systolic dysfunction - doesn’t pump as well Ventricular diastolic dysfunction - doesn’t fill up with sufficient blood Symptoms - shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness

Blood clot inside deep vein Symptoms - oedema, dilated veins, pain, swelling, redness
