Question

What diseases affect the Circulatory System?

Answer 1

Circulatory system (cardiovascular system): It received oxygenated blood from the lungs and transports it to the rest of the body while collecting the deoxygenated blood and sending it to the lungs for oxygenation.

Diseases that can affect the circulatory system include:

1. Atherosclerosis: It is the thickening or hardening of the arteries caused by a buildup of plaque in the inner lining of an artery.
2. Mitral valve prolapse: It's a type of heart valve disease that affects the valve between the left heart chambers.
3. Mitral stenosis: Narrowing of the heart's mitral valve.
4. Angina pectoris: Chest pain or discomfort that keeps coming back.
5. Myocardial infarction: A heart attack is a deadly medical emergency where your heart muscle begins to die because it isn't getting enough blood flow.
6. Cardiac Ischemia: Reduces the heart muscle's ability to pump blood.
