2. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_coronary...

   Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon but potentially lethal condition in which one of the coronary arteries that supply the heart, spontaneously develops a blood collection, or hematoma, within the artery wall due to a tear in the wall.

4. Arterial dissections - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_dissections

   Arterial dissections become life-threatening when growth of the false lumen prevents perfusion of the true lumen and the related end organs. For example, in an aortic dissection, if the left subclavian artery orifice were distal to the origin of the dissection, then the left subclavian would be said to be perfused by the false lumen, while the left common carotid (and its end organ, the left ...

5. Coronary arteries - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_arteries

   There is also a rare condition known as spontaneous coronary artery dissection, in which the wall of one of the coronary arteries tears, causing severe pain. [10] Unlike CAD, spontaneous coronary artery dissection is not due to plaque buildup in arteries, and tends to occur in younger individuals, including women who have recently given birth ...

7. Cardiac arrest - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_arrest

   The underlying causes of sudden cardiac arrest can result from cardiac and non-cardiac etiologies. The most common underlying causes are different, depending on the patient's age. Common cardiac causes include coronary artery disease, non-atherosclerotic coronary artery abnormalities, structural heart damage, and inherited arrhythmias. Common ...

8. Restrictive cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictive_cardiomyopathy

   Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a form of cardiomyopathy in which the walls of the heart are rigid (but not thickened). [2] [3] Thus the heart is restricted from stretching and filling with blood properly.

9. Right axis deviation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_axis_deviation

   The electrical axis of the heart is the net direction in which the wave of depolarization travels. It is measured using an electrocardiogram (ECG).Normally, this begins at the sinoatrial node (SA node); from here the wave of depolarisation travels down to the apex of the heart.
