Hypertension
Pericarditis
Rheumatic heart disease
Sudden cardiac death
Thrombosis
Prolapse
Description/Symptoms
Bulging of the wall of a blood vessel
Lack of blood to heart causes pain
Deviation in the normal heartbeat
rhythm – trembling feeling in chest
Fatty deposit builds up on arterial wall
Bacterial infection of lining of the
heart
Blood flow between pulmonary trunk
and aorta
Blood flow between left and right
atrium
Blood flow between left and right
ventricles
Multiple septal defects
Heart’s loss of pumping ability/blood
enters heart faster than it can be
pumped out
Thickening/hypertrophy of heart
muscles due to dilation of ventricles,
vascular disorders, obesity, excessive
exercise
Rapid contraction of heart chambers;
prevents proper emptying/filling of
chamber
Defective heart valve cannot close
properly
Systolic BP of 120-139; diastolic BP 8089
Inflammation of pericardium; may
lead to tamponade
Bacterial infection of valves that
damages valves
Abrupt loss of heart function
Clot that forms in blood vessels/heart;
may break free and cause lack of
blood flow in other area (embolism)
Inversion/stretching of heart valves;
may lead to thickening of affected
ventricles
Treatment
Clipping/Packing vessel
No treatment
Medications to regulate cardiac
muscle contraction
Lifestyle change/stent
Preventative antibiotics prior to
dental work
Surgery
Surgery
Surgery
Surgery
Lifestyle changes/treat underlying
disease that precludes proper blood
flow from heart
No treatment
Defibrillators
Varies; may include replacement of
valve
Lifestyle changes
Drugs to reduce inflammation;
draining of excess fluid around heart
using syringe
Antibiotics, heart valve replacement
None
Increased activity to prevent them;
clot-busting drugs
Surgery to repair/replace defective
valve
