What is cardio vascular disease? According to the American Heart Association, cardio vascular disease is also called heart disease and it includes numerous problems related to atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition that occurs as plaque or fatty deposit builds up in the walls of the arteries and as the buildup narrows the arteries, it becomes harder for blood to flow through and causes a heart attack. This severe disease is one of the leading cause of death and disability among the elderly

Vascular endothelial factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic factor which plays an important role in regulating normal physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Correctly timed expression of VEGF at appropriate levels is crucial for normal development of vasculature and homeostasis, but also vital for solid tumour growth. VEGF is highly expressed in solid tumours and is required for the development and maintenance of blood vessels within the tumour, which is a prerequisite for successful tumour

Heart and Peripheral Vascular System Chest pain is a symptom that can represent several different diseases from different organ systems. It is essential to determine which system is responsible for the pain and state the severity of the patient’s condition (Longo et al., 2011). When considering pain, there are eleven different criteria one must consider and evaluate. These include the duration of the pain, onset, localization, irradiation, character, intensity, alleviating factors, aggravating

Vascular Lymphatic System/Atherosclerosis Jazmin Fontan Bryant & Stratton College AHLT120: Anatomy and Physiology-1 Dr. Pamela K. Hannaman, MS, ND, CPC, CMRS, CCMA November 18, 2015 Narrowing and hardening of the artery walls causing buildup of fatty tissues (plaque), cholesterol and other substances, which may restrict blood flow is referred to as atherosclerosis. Having restriction of blood flow develops damage to a patients’ organs and also increases the risk of heart attacks, blood

The circulatory system, also known as the cardiovascular system or the vascular system is an organ system that allows blood to circulate and transport nutrients, oxygen, and many other blood cells throughout the body, providing us with the proper daily necessities to survive.1 Another name for coronary heart disease is also coronary artery disease. The heart and the circulatory system make up our cardiovascular system. From this the heart works as a pump to transport and push blood to our organs

The naturalised vascular species of flora throughout New Zealand at present has similar totals to the native species (Williams & Cameron, 2006), and newly naturalised species are being discovered at an increasing rate (Howell, 2008). Approximately 19% of all naturalised species are presently recorded as environmental weeds (Howell, 2008). Unfortunately, these statistics can, incorrectly, give the impression that New Zealand environments are inundated with an abundance of diverse weeds. Rather,

What You Need to Know About Peripheral Vascular Disease Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a type of circulatory disorder that affects blood vessels in areas other than the heart or brain. Blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the legs are most commonly affected. Blood vessels in the arms, kidneys, and stomach are also commonly affected. PVD is sometimes called peripheral arterial disease (PAD). There are two types of PVD: • Organic PVD. This is the more common type. It is caused

to live a life free from diseases and keep all the threats of obesity at bay! One of the most forms of exercise that you can do without even joining a gym are cardio vascular exercises. With the aid of these exercises you look and stay young and you are active for most of the time of the day. In order to get a good cardio vascular workout you do not have to join the gym as these exercises are simple enough to do at home. They have great health benefits as they increase the heart rate and help you

Vascular Access Usually, accessing vascular structures is done through a needle to puncture the vessel percutaneously, followed by a wire introduced through the needle to secure the vascular access. The needle is then removed and a sheath is advanced over the wire. Vascular sheaths are hollow structures with a built in diaphragm to prevent bleeding. Catheters are then placed into and out of the sheath with a minimal loss of blood.11 Access to the Cardiovascular System Femoral arterial and venous

multisystem affections [1,2]. Vasculitis causes endothelial destruction and thrombosis [3]. Inflammatory thrombosis is well-known in BD [4]. It has been recognized that vascular endothelial dysfunction occurs in BD and plays a substantial role in the vascular lesions. The path-ogenic mechanism is uncertain [5]. There are several identified vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family members: VEGF (VEGF-A), VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D and placenta growth factor which are key regulators of physiological and
