Hardening of the Arteries
Hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis) refers to the hardening and thickening of blood vessels. This eMedTV article examines the conditions that cause hardened arteries, such as atherosclerosis (a buildup of plaque on the artery walls).
The heart's primary job is to pump blood throughout the body. This multimedia clip explains in detail how a healthy heart works.
This video segment explains arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat.
A heart attack is a rare, but important, complication that could occur during this procedure. This video clip takes a closer look at how often this occurs.
Heart Attack With Aortic Valve Replacement
A heart attack with aortic valve replacement is a rare event, occurring in about 4 out of every 1,000 procedures. This eMedTV article explains how a heart attack with aortic valve replacement may occur.
Heart Attack With Mitral Valve Replacement
A heart attack with mitral valve replacement is a serious complication, occurring in about 4 out of 1,000 procedures. This eMedTV Web page details how a heart attack with mitral valve replacement affects the body.
This video discusses alternative medical treatments to bypass surgery.
Heart Deseases
There are over 50 types of heart diseases. This page on the eMedTV Web site lists some specific heart diseases (including angina and atherosclerosis) and provides a link to more information. Heart deseases is a common misspelling of heart diseases.
This interactive video discusses heart disease, including what causes it and possible symptoms.
Heart Diseases
Coronary artery disease is often referred to as "heart disease," but many different heart diseases exist. This eMedTV article discusses these conditions based on the area of the heart or blood vessel system they affect.
Heart Murmur
As this eMedTV article explains, a heart murmur is an unexpected sound that is heard while listening to a person's heartbeat. While most are harmless -- and are even present from birth -- some are an indication that there is a problem with the heart.
Heart Murmur Diagnosis
When making a heart murmur diagnosis, a doctor classifies the murmur as systolic, diastolic, or continuous. This eMedTV resource takes you through the process of making a heart murmur diagnosis.
Heart Murmur Symptoms
Most people with a heart murmur don't have symptoms. This eMedTV Web page explains, however, that sometimes a patient may experience symptoms (such as chest pain and shortness of breath) that could signal more serious health issues.
Heart Murmur Treatment
In most cases, heart murmur treatment involves medication or surgery. However, as this eMedTV article explains, treatment is generally only required in cases of abnormal heart murmurs. This page lists other conditions that may require treatment.
The heart's primary job is to pump blood throughout the body. This multimedia clip explains in detail how a healthy heart works.
